I’ve been on lemmy.ml for a while but have not figured out how to join other instances of lemmy (like subreddits?). The couple of other groups ask for a login but my current login doesn’t work. I don’t know how to proceed or where to look for a guide. Thanks for any assistance.
If you go to https://lemmy.ml/communities then click All you will see communities from all federated instances. Communities from other instances will have
@<instance>displayed. If you don’t see one in specific you can search for!<community>@<instance>(you may have to wait a minute and search a second time if it’s the first time anyone has searched for that community).As far as browsing those other communities, that will be https://lemmy.ml/c/<community>@<instance>. For example https://lemmy.ml/c/guitars@lemmy.world
You need to join through your home instance (lemmy.ml) like going to https://lemmy.ml/c/foodporn@lemmy.world if someone from your instance has subscribed to the community or go to lemmy.ml and search for !foodporn@lemmy.world (you might have to wait a bit)
to subscribe to communities in other instances, search for them, go to community, look in the sidebar and hit subscribe. For example to subscribe to !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world click that link, look in the sidebar, hit the subscribe button.
