Need Lemmy Usage Assistance (lemmy.ml)

I've been on lemmy.ml for a while but have not figured out how to join other instances of lemmy (like subreddits?). The couple of other groups ask for a login but my current login doesn't work. I don't know how to proceed or where to look for a guide. Thanks for any assistance.

You need to join through your home instance (lemmy.ml) like going to https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] if someone from your instance has subscribed to the community or go to lemmy.ml and search for [email protected] (you might have to wait a bit)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
