Almost certain this has already been mentioned, but subscribing to other communities outside of your instance is kinda clunky. Having to go to another site to browse their communities and plug whatever relevant community's link into your own instance's search?
Surely there has to be a better way to find other communities that doesn't involve having to go to another instance's website.
My account is 5 days old. I find subscribing to other communities pretty simple? On the website, I click on "Communitys" and open the list of available communities. Just click on the subscribe button and you're done.
Yeah, but that one only shows local communities AFAIK. I also find it a bit of a hassle if I see a recommendation for a community on another instance, and want to subscribe.
It shows some remote communities, but far from all of them. I think it's either based on other people in your server having subscribed to one, or opt-in at the admin level.
I've had to manually find my way to several communities I was interested in.
This seems likely, because I also read that you can’t go directly via link through your own instance, unless your instance already “knows” about the community.
Don't you have 3 buttons (subscribed/local/all) for sorting in your community view? "All" shows me all available communities and I just search keywords after that.
I do, but I think it only shows communities from other instances that your instance already “knows” about.
Ah got ya. Yeah then this needs improvement.
