See the top comment… basically, you treat their community as if it’s a community on your instance, and just append the instance it’s on to the end:
Https://yourinstance.com/c/[email protected]

The content will be coming here soon enough. Exponential growth over the past week.
Actually, here's the trick:
[some community](/c/[email protected])
So:
[WowThisLemmyExists](/c/[email protected])
Gives us this link: WowThisLemmyExists
Which links to that community but within the instance you're currently in!
(many thanks to the Lemmy Project Chat on Matrix!)
That doesn't work... and the link [email protected] still directs me to "https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists" rather than "https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]"
Is there a way to change the links so that when you click on them, they open in the same instance that you're logged into? So that you can actually subscribe to them?
Not really. It’s been taken out of context.
Yeah, if you don’t have enough good mods things could get ugly real quick. Be careful, my friend.
Is that really him?
Oh, I see. Browsing their communities has to be done on their instance on the Communities page, I believe. Then yeah, you'd have to copy the community name and then add it to a URL from your instance.
You could browse their "all" by going to their home page and switching from "subscribed" to "all" in the selector above the posts.
The "all" for the instance you're on is determined by whatever instances that instance is federated with. There's a link for that list down in the bottom-right of each instance. It says "Instances".
