Requesting to federate

Not sure if this is the forums for this. Just requesting to Federate. It looks like you run a busy board so I understand if this is a big ask at the moment.

I think it is done automatically when someone subscribes to a lemmy.ninja community? Pretty sure you don't have to request it, plus it's on the lemmy.world instance list already
How do you subscribe to an outside community if it doesn't show up in the search? I have tried entering the /c/communityname@hostname.org into the URL bar but it seems to just 404.
Search from your instance for
!community-name@instance-name, click the result then subscribe.For example from your instance search for:
Awesome thanks, it works after trying the version with the
!at the beginning (as opposed to justcommunity-name@instance-name). Next time it happens, I will try with the full URL and see if that works as well.So I think sometimes you need to do both in that order for it to load in another instance (if no one else has done that before for a particular community between the 2 instances):
First search for it using !community@desiredinstance.domain then go to the URL manually: https://currentinstance.domain/c/community@desiredinstance.domain
Not the most intuitive but it works for me
