Sorry if this isn’t the right community to post to, I’m not sure where to ask this very specific question.
I want to subscribe to certain communities on @literatur.cafe. Nothing nasty, just book related communities.
When I use the search all I can find is the meta-community of that instance.
What can I do to find and subscribe to the communties hosted on that instance?
You can also try using https://lemmyverse.net/communities to search communities.
If I wanted to go to the beehaw gaming community, I would copy the link with the ! and append it onto the end of my instance url, replacing the ! with /c/ like this:
Instance: https://dormi.zone
Community: [email protected]
Spliced: https://dormi.zone/c/[email protected]
Defederated instances can make things a little annoying, i.e. an account from lemmy.world would not be able to connect to communities from beehaw because they are defederated. You can either try looking for an alternative like “[email protected]” or create an account on an instance that isn’t defederated with beehaw. If you’re on mobile, most clients I’ve tried support swapping between accounts so it’s not too much of a hassle.
