How can I subscribe to a community on another Lemmy instance using the Beehaw account? I feel a bit embarrassed asking this question because it seems like a basic task, and I may have overlooked something obvious. However, I did make an effort to search the internet before coming here.

Here are the steps I’ve tried, which don’t seem to be working:

  1. On Beehaw, I navigated to the “Communities” section.

  2. In the search bar, I attempted several searches:

    • https://programming.dev/c/meta

      => Result: The search page appears empty, without explicitly stating “No results.” However, I can click the “next” button an infinite number of times.

    • I tried entering meta@programming.dev

      => Result: It displays “No results.”

    Thanks! I read somewhere else as well about having to wait a bit, but in this case it doesn’t seem to be the reason. The searched community shows up when being searched via the search icon on the top right of the page, but still doesn’t show up in the search via the community section, even with scope set to “all”, and the search form looking exactly the same as the one of the search icon.

    Problem is practically solved now, just still a bit confused.
