So how do you subscribe to communities that aren’t listed yet? I get subscribe links for ones that have been federated, but so far have found no way to subscribe to a non-federated community, even when I know its name. I’m using the mobile interface.
if you have the url for the community (usually
https://<instance>/c/<community>, for example:https://beehaw.org/c/music), click on the top-right menu bar, then the magnifying glass. enter/paste the community url into the search field, click on search. it should show up as one of the results (and sometimes takes a try or two for some reason?).the result you want will look something like this:
also, if you know the url, you can also just figure out the url for the local instance:
https://lemmy.ca/c/<community>@<instance>, for example:https://lemmy.ca/c/music@beehaw.orghope that makes sense!
