Need Lemmy Usage Assistance (lemmy.ml)

I've been on lemmy.ml for a while but have not figured out how to join other instances of lemmy (like subreddits?). The couple of other groups ask for a login but my current login doesn't work. I don't know how to proceed or where to look for a guide. Thanks for any assistance.

In Lemmy, subreddits are known as communities. You join a community by its name, for example !mycommunity@example. Do a search for that community, click on the search result, and you'll be given an option to subscribe. Note that the search might come up as 0 results even though you got the community name right. It's just taking longer to find the community.
