Maybe I’ve just not figured it out, but it’s there a way to navigate the subs on a different instance without switching accounts? Like going directly to [email protected]?

Example, I’m on lemmy.ca but I want to subscribe to /c/linux on programming.dev. I’m struggling hard to navigate to this community, as it’s not turning up in search either.

Edit: I found it on search, but it’s made worse by the fact that search is not showing the instance of the communities, so you just end up with a bunch of communities and a subscriber count based on your local instance, which means pretty much nothing

    You can access it by formatting the link like this

    /c/linux

    [/c/linux](/c/linux@programming.dev)

    That will make the link relative to your instance

    For some reason if you put the entire community name with the instance in the link text it will not load in Connect for Lemmy, trying to find a user instead.

    I’ll try to flag it as a bug soon.

      Doesn’t that mean I need to post a comment somewhere with that content? I just want to navigate there.

        I’m not sure how else you could get there unless subscribed while using the app.
