Hello!
All this federation is so cool but also so new :-) which makes it even cooler IMO!
I thought you could “sub” to another Lemmy sub, for example I thought this one was potentially nice:
https://sh.itjust.works/c/plugins
But how can I, if I can, sub to that sub when I’m logged here on lemmy.ml ?
Cheers and thanks!
Edit: spelling
How to view a foreign community from your instance:
- Paste the link into your instances search box.
- Open the search results
The other way:
This link: https://lemmy.ml/plugins@sh.itjust.works
See what I did to the address? You can do the same for other subs too.Slightly unintuitive but works perfectly well!
Thanks a bunch 💖!
This is only if no one on your instance has subscribed to that community yet. Once one user has all you’d need to do is search “plugins” and It would pop up.
You have to follow a specific URL scheme. In your case it’s
https://lemmy.ml/c/plugins@sh.itjust.works
So it’s always yourinstance.com/c/communityname@otherinstwmcename.com
But you don’t need to remember this. Copy the URL “https://sh.itjust.works/c/plugins” into search on your instance, and it should come up.
If you’re the first person on your instance, sometimes it can take some time, or require a refresh, but it should work.
All of the others forgot to mention one thing. Currently there is a bug to subscribe to a community.
So if there is no button in the sidebar, that is because the bug.
