I’ve been on lemmy.ml for a while but have not figured out how to join other instances of lemmy (like subreddits?). The couple of other groups ask for a login but my current login doesn’t work. I don’t know how to proceed or where to look for a guide. Thanks for any assistance.
Per rule #3, we don’t offer support in this community - please check the sidebar for a list of communities that can help you out with this question.
If you go to https://lemmy.ml/communities then click All you will see communities from all federated instances. Communities from other instances will have
@<instance>displayed. If you don’t see one in specific you can search for!<community>@<instance>(you may have to wait a minute and search a second time if it’s the first time anyone has searched for that community).As far as browsing those other communities, that will be https://lemmy.ml/c/<community>@<instance>. For example https://lemmy.ml/c/guitars@lemmy.world
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !guitars@lemmy.world
In Lemmy, subreddits are known as communities. You join a community by its name, for example !mycommunity@example. Do a search for that community, click on the search result, and you’ll be given an option to subscribe. Note that the search might come up as 0 results even though you got the community name right. It’s just taking longer to find the community.
You need to join through your home instance (lemmy.ml) like going to https://lemmy.ml/c/foodporn@lemmy.world if someone from your instance has subscribed to the community or go to lemmy.ml and search for !foodporn@lemmy.world (you might have to wait a bit)

Good bot, this is what I’m talking about
I would like to know that, too.
