I searched for and found a community on another instance, but I don't see any options to subscribe.. could someone ELI5? I must be missing something obvious.

I'm using Firefox via Android if that makes a difference?

You can subscribe to another community by visiting {yourinstance.com}/c/{communityname}@{otherinstance.com}

For example: https://beehaw.org/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !asklemmy@lemmy.ml
