In case your instance does not federate to something you would like it to, follow these steps:

  • Go to your instance URL in a web browser - https://lemmy.cafe
  • Click Communities
  • Enter something in format !community@instance, e.g. [!general@lemmy.cafe](/c/general@lemmy.cafe). Click the search button.
  • Nothing will show up, give it a couple of seconds
  • Click Communities again
  • Select All
  • Your searched community should now be on the list
  • Click Subscribe next to it
  • ???
  • Profit!

I did that. It finally showed up later in the day, but posts didn't show up on my instance until almost a day later. I'm hoping this gets better with time.
