How to subscribe to community on a different server?

Coaben@lemmy.world to Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world – 35 points –

I’m trying to add a subscription here (my account at lemmy.world) too !humor@beehaw.org. Can’t figure out how to do it. Can someone please explain?

on my iphone: click the hamburger menu in the top right, click search, Search for “!humor@beehaw.org”, the sublemmy should be listed in the results, click it, then click sidebar, and the subscribe button should pop up.

If it says “sign up or log in to comment” then you got there from outside your instance and can’t subscribe from there.

And since we're fediversed, in kbin go to magazines, enter your search term. It will search across the fediverse.

Try typing just hu or into the search function. Lemmy.world and beehaw should be fully federated so you shouldn't have to search the complete path

Beehaw is no longer federated with Lemmy.world

Yeah my comment didn't age well. Lol.

I ended up spinning up a small instance so I can federate with both

Communities page, at the top of lemmy.world. Search humor. Click subscribe next to !humor@beehaw.org

You're on basically the biggest instance so it should definitiely already be there.

  • Start at lemmy.world, click the magnyfying glass up top to search.
  • type in the search bar
  • click search
  • you should see the Jokes and Humor community info popup.
  • Click the title of the community to go into the community (but through your server)
  • Click the subscribe link in the sidebar

I have a comment here wishing it could be better :/
