In case your instance does not federate to something you would like it to, follow these steps:

Go to your instance URL in a web browser - https://lemmy.cafe

Click Communities

Enter something in format !community@instance, e.g. [!general@lemmy.cafe](/c/general@lemmy.cafe). Click the search button.

Nothing will show up, give it a couple of seconds

Click Communities again

Select All

Your searched community should now be on the list

Click Subscribe next to it

???

Profit!

TBH, the UI of Lemmy is rouuuuuuuuuuuuuugh. I'm confident through attention with more ex-Redditors joining + through open source contributions, it'll get better and better, stuff like this will be resolved (even with something as simple as a loading spinner)
