I myself have been figuring things out, but ideally you should be able to just go to Communites -> Search and it should show all the relevant named communities from other instances (as long as the instances are listed in federation, which lemmyrs.org is fwiw).
Admittedly that functionality is a little flaky in my limited experience.
Okay, so it is definitely a little wonky but I was able to search for lemmyrs.org/c/rustlang from another instance.
I first had to paste the full url https://lemmyrs.org/c/rustlang in the search bar then click search a few times for it to actually show up.
I understand it's very annoying that it is this way but I'm hopeful that the experience will smooth out over time.
Oof. Once the performance problems are sorted out, improving this really should be next on the developers' agenda.
Hmm, I’ll try to debug that tomorrow. It has been a bit flaky in my experience as well. Some folks have had success subscribing from other instances fwiw but its been admittedly inconsistent.
