This is the way.

So yeah... whatever instance your account is associated with can subscribe to any community from any other instance. You just have to view it "through" your instance that you're logged into.

So, say someone has their account with lemmy.ml - they would go to: https://lemmy.ml/c/exchristian@lemmy.one and they could subscribe to it using their lemmy.ml account, and would be able to interact with it through their lemmy.ml account (rather than having to sign up for lemmy.one to subscribe to it).

It also works visa-versa. Say someone has a Lemmy.one account and they want to subscribe to a community on Lemmy.ca.. for instance, WowThisLemmyExists:

They login to lemmy.one, and then go to https://lemmy.one/c/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca and they could subscribe to it using their lemmy.one account.

The only caveat is that the instance that your account is on has to have been "federated" (connected) with the instance that the community is on. (Which you can check if you go to the bottom of the page and click "instances")

The content will be coming here soon enough. Exponential growth over the past week.

Actually, here's the trick:

[some community](/c/some_community@server.tld)

So:

[WowThisLemmyExists](/c/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca)

Gives us this link: WowThisLemmyExists

Which links to that community but within the instance you're currently in!

(many thanks to the Lemmy Project Chat on Matrix!)

That doesn't work... and the link !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca still directs me to "https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists" rather than "https://lemmy.one/c/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca"

Is there a way to change the links so that when you click on them, they open in the same instance that you're logged into? So that you can actually subscribe to them?

Yeah, you just have to search for that community within your own instance, on the "all" tab of the Communities page.

Not really. It’s been taken out of context.

I’m not having any luck signing up for a new account on Lemmy.world. The button just spins and spins.

Yeah, if you don’t have enough good mods things could get ugly real quick. Be careful, my friend.

Is that really him?

Steve has never been committed to any values that the company has ever tried to say they adhere to. He’s a kid who doesn’t have a clue how to handle people. And never has.

Honestly, after coming to Lemmy, I haven’t looked back.
