If for example you would want to subscribe the liminal space community on lemmy.ml, you could search for the link https://lemmy.ml/c/liminalspace on beehaw.org.
This will make your server look up that url and figure out that there’s a lemmy server as well with a community that you can subscribe to and in the future you will find posts in your home feed.
You can also just browse lemmy.ml and search for a post url on beehaw, (for example this: https://lemmy.ml/post/165246) and click and subscribe on the community there.
Only one person has to browse a foreign server and subscribe to a sub before others can just see the sub on the communities (https://beehaw.org/communities/listing_type/All/page/1) tab and the posts of the sub in the All tab on the main screen. You’ll notice that the communities site already lists the liminal space sub because I searched for its URL on beehaw.
For those of us less technically savvy or who struggle with English, can you explain this in more accessible language? For those who struggle with words but have a stronger connection with images, could you include screenshots as well?
Okay, I’ll include screenshots listed below with references. Let’s say I wanted to subscribe to the LGBTI News Community on lemmy.ml. Copy the link to that community[1]. Then you would go to the search bar in Beehaw (while signed into Beehaw) and paste the link in there.[2] You’ll then see a page with search results. There might be some, or there might be none (and if there are none, you’ll have to press the Next button to see the link to the community you want to find).[3] Click on the link to the community. You can then subscribe to it or interact with posts much like you can on Beehaw local communities.[4]
[1] Copy the link
[2] Paste the link into the search bar
[3] Search Results, Might Have to Press Next
[4] Voila! You can subscribe or otherwise interact with posts now
Let me know if I should add anything.
Edit: you can do the same thing with posts, just copy the post link instead of the community link
Thank you, hopefully this makes it clear for anyone who struggled with the initial post like I did. 💜
