I’ve been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
Go to the Communities page on your own instance that you are logged into. There should be a toggle buttons to change from “Local” to “All” or “Subscribed”. Press the “All” button and seach for the community name. There might be some duplicates on other servers so make sure you found the one on the server that you want. Then hit subscribe.
