Yeah but instead of just being able to click the link and subscribe you have to copy/paste the link in to the search bar on an entirely different page and then make sure all your search filters are set correctly and then maybe wait a bit if no one has accessed it before from your instance and then you can click subscribe. It needs to be way easier than that, like with RES you could just hover over a linked subreddit and click subscribe without ever even leaving the page.
Many of the current problems that I see is BECAUSE of the federated architecture. I know the problem seems simple but it's actually not + I expect all these problems to be addressed soon. I have hope though because of the open-source nature 🤞
If I format a link like this : link it technically works, but you are going to hit a lot of 404s on smaller communities until those communities federate out into the wider network. !memes
