So to “correctly” open a community from another instance I’m instructed to “enter it into the search bar on your own instance”. Ok, I’m on Lemmy.ml, mobile browser in Firefox- where is the search bar? I can’t find it…

You should see a hamburger menu in the top right of your screen. Click on that, then click on the magnifying glass icon.

If you hit the hamburger menu in the top right you should see the search icon appear in the dropdown.

Ok thank you, but after hitting the hamburger menu all I see is: (below) are there supposed to be icons in that blank space? It’s happened for me already that sometimes icons load and sometimes they don’t (like the hamburger itself, I know it’s supposed to be there but I only see a blank space), but they have never loaded for me there.

Oh yeah weird, there should be three icons down there (the bottom one is notifications so you can see the number there at least), search is the middle one. I wonder if that's a Firefox thing maybe, I'm on mobile Chrome.

Yeah I just clicked into that void area and found like donate and search but the icons still never loaded. Thank you!

Oh well as long as it works. Probably worth a bug report.
