I am browsing subscribed@programming.dev, but I get this error. How do I subscribe to communities on other instances? This is a huge barrier to entry.

    Seems to be a bug in your chosen client. You don’t need to be logged in to remote instances to subscribe to communities on them.

      This question was posted in the community of their client (liftoff).

      Liftoff allows searching on other instances than the one you are currently signed into. But if you open a community through that search, you can not subscribe.

      If you search through the community you are signed in, it works as expected.

      Right, but I’m posting in the Liftoff community because this feature should be added to Liftoff. In fact, looks like it was added just one day after I posted.
