Not sure if this is the best place to post, but I’m trying to figure Lemmy out. Suppose I want to subscribe to !news@beehaw.org using this account… how do I do that?
When I go to the “communities” tab and search for “news”… doesn’t show up there. I can search for “technology” and find results for !technology@beehaw.org. I can go to a URL on this domain for that community; but plopping the word “news” instead of “technology” in that URL gives me a 404.
Do the admins of this instance have to whitelist specific other communities before people here can subscribe to them? Have they done that with “technology” but not “news”? (I understand if that’s the case. Probably want to keep programmers.dev on topic. Just trying to figure out how lemmy works)
If you could add something like this as an option in the settings, that would be a really nice thing to have for redditors who are a bit out of sorts. I would rather spend my time contributing to the site rather than learning my way around a new UI if at all possible. Such a minor thing, but it looks really nice in the screenshots.
