subscribing to another instance (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Hello, I decided to join Lemmy through FMHY as my main instance. I've been trying to add pathfinder.social to my subscribed instances using the search.

!pathfinder.social. But the instance won't actually show up. I tried on Jerboa. Then I tried through Chrome but the search brings up posts that have it as a topic but not the instance itself. Still very new to Lemmy so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong I'm just not sure what. I'd appreciate any advice.

I’m not familiar with how Mastodon works (or the vernacular mastodon uses) but I know it is federated. So it should work the same way you subscribe to mastodon communities.

For Lemmy you find the community you want either by searching it on a search database (ex: https://lemmy.ml/communities) or just by browsing your feed.

You select and copy the address (ex: [email protected] , gardening being the community and thegarden.land being the server or instance).

When you have it copied (in the case of Lemmy) you insert it into the search bar and the result should be the community that you can subscribe to and be able to interact with on your own feed.

I’m sure this same principle should work for mastodon accounts as i can subscribe to kbin.social communities and mastodon communities this way on Lemmy.

Hope this helps you somehow.

I'm actually not using mastadon. Jerboa is an app that let's you Access Lemmy. I guess it could be considered like Apollo for Reddit.

I did try using [email protected] I'm search bar to subscribe to it, but for some reason nothing is showing up. It might be a problem with Jerboas search function. I might just have to use a browser to subscribe those those communities before being able to use Jerboa to view them. Thank you for your reply.
