my subscriptions have been mostly coming through posts about new communities.
when someone posts a link to a remote, they are formed in such a way that my mbin instance automagically searches for, creates and dumps me into that newly created remote community. im sure its just a part of its search/routing.
at that point, the instance is subscribed to the remote community.
then i click ‘subscribe’, which subs my specific account.
edit: yep, theyre crafting the links to force it through the processor like this
more literally: /[email protected]
You want this instead, you need the @ tag at the end else it won’t work for people in other instances
PhotoRestoration
Which you do like this:
[PhotoRestoration](/c/photorestoration@lemmy.world)
This is the universal link: [email protected]
but it doesn’t work on some clients, so I like to include the above as well
