This is my first venture into the fediverse. Confusing at first, but all the guides are helpful. I'm still unsure how to subscribe to communities I'm interested in
I think you just search the community name, if it is on your instance it will show up as community name otherwise it will show up as
<community name>@<instance name>likegaming@lemmy.ml.But in your instance or not, it will not make a difference for your experience, all you need to do is click subscribe, and it will show up in your feed.
I only see a subscribe button when I am browsing the list of communities, but if I search for a specific community I do not see any way to subscribe
I see a subscribe button in the side bar:
As you can see I entered a community on lemmy.ml from beehaw.org.
All I did is search "gaming", click on the community, and I got the join option like normal. Can you let me know what does it look like on your side?
Thank you, that worked for me. I did not even try opening the sidebar ๐คฆ
