But you don't need to remember this. Copy the URL "https://sh.itjust.works/c/plugins" into search on your instance, and it should come up.
If you're the first person on your instance, sometimes it can take some time, or require a refresh, but it should work.
The easiest to explain method:
- Copy the link https://sh.itjust.works/c/plugins
- Paste it to search box at lemmy.ml
- The search results open the foreign sub while staying in your own instance
- Subscribe
The other way:
Click this link to skip some of the steps above:
https://lemmy.ml/c/plugins@sh.itjust.works
Look how I made this link, you can do the same for other subs too.
Slightly unintuitive but works perfectly well!
Thanks a bunch ๐!
All of the others forgot to mention one thing. Currently there is a bug to subscribe to a community.
So if there is no button in the sidebar, that is because the bug.
