    Browse communities here: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

    When you have found one you are interested in click the click to copy button.

    Let’s say for example you want to subscribe to “[email protected]”

    When you click to copy, “[email protected]” will be copied to your clipboard

    In your browser enter https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

    So in this example it would be https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

    Then hit enter, and subscribe!

        As @KoreanPerson said, you can try removing the exclamation. Otherwise, from what I’ve gathered on other servers, sometimes it’s because servers haven’t been federated between each other yet so you do the search and then wait a bit for the server to pick up and federate the other server. It should then come up in a search.

        Personally I’ve found it a hit and miss on how much time you have to wait. Sometimes it’s appeared clicking search a second time and others it’s been days and still not appeared.

        Also bear in mind that some servers are blocked by others so they’ll never appear in the search and you can’t access it regardless of the method used to ‘discover’ a community.
