If I have an account on one instance [lemm.ee] is there a way to browse another instance [lemmy.world] locally without creating an account in that instance or going to my browser and typing in the url?

    “how”?

    Slightly different but related issue here - how can I use Jerboa to subscribe to a community I ‘only’ have the link of, like https://some.instance/c/aCommunity?

    Searching for ‘aCommunity’, ‘aCommunity@some.instance’ or putting the URL in the search field doesn’t show me any results.

      I’ve noticed this issue with new communities. I’d suggest wait a few hours so the instances “sync” and the community shows up in search. If that doesn’t work maybe it’s a bug.

        I was under the impression not all instances sync with all others ‘automagically’ (and that that’s by design); and also that’s basically what wintermute is for.

        The communities I’m interested in are not only hours old.
