I'm confused but have been figuring things out.
Mostly it seems that many of my Reddit subs are reconvening on different Lemmy servers (.ml, .world, .can) and I can't yet figure out how to combine them or view them under one account?
I'll keep trying.
I have been going over the same thing in the last two days.
What worked for me was the following:
Use a computer (not a phone). That was at least easier in my experience.
Find your community of interest via: https://browse.feddit.de/
Make note of the instance (the server, e.g., lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, beehaw.org, etc.) as well as the community name ('sub reddits'). For example, let's use 'technology' at 'beehive.org'
Go to your Lemmy server and log in. Note that your server/instance does NOT have to be the beehaw.org server, even though we want to add a community from this server. Now go to the search bar and paste the following:
!technology@beehaw.org
The annoying part is that it takes some time before the search result may show up (but definitely less than a minute in my experience).
Once the search result shows up, you can follow the link, which will open the community page where you will have a 'subscribe' button on the top right of the page.
Thank you for this explanation! I've been searching for an answer on how to subscribe to communities that are not on your home instance.
