Hi. I've subscribed to several communities outside my instance already, but I'm having a problem where I can't seem to repeat the process for certain communities.

For example, I wanted to go to /c/test on lemmy.ml. But going to lemmy.ml/c/test takes me outside of Beehaw, my home instance, so I can't post or subscribe from there. So I checked how I could visit this community, and its URL is https://beehaw.org/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml. I then tried going to https://beehaw.org/c/test@lemmy.ml, but that gives me an error page.

What do? I can't find /c/test on the communities page, either.

Apologies if I'm being dumb.

On your home instance, search for the community you want to sub. Eg: search for http://lemmy.ml/c/test - it will initially say nothing found but after about 10 seconds you should be able to find it in the All Communities list on your home instance. Click on the name of the community to view it, or click subscribe.

Is this the same for Kbin magazines? I tried doing this with gaming@kbin.social and got the same Subscribe Pending thing mentioned in the OP.

No idea about kbin, sorry. Although I have gotten "Subscribe Pending" when subbing to a few communities - they eventually change to Subscribed.
