No matter how hard I try I can't sub to a community... (lemmy.one)

I've spent the last hour trying to subscribe to [email protected]

The logical thing would be a subscribe button on the community page. That's not there. So I did some digging and apparently you're supposed to paste the community name into search.

I tried that. Initially it just brought up a list of posts that mention that community. I then tried to choose "communities" as a filter and it brought up nothing.

Would someone please tell me what I'm missing? Why is this so hard?

EDIT: Nevermind. It's in the sidebar which I missed because I'm on mobile. 🤦‍♂️

I had the same issue. i'm on Jerboa (android app). It's not very intuitive. I ended up logging in via laptop web browser,and subscribing from there. If anybody has a clue how to subscribe to other communities via Jeboa, it'd be greatly appreciated.

For some reason you have to click/tap 2x to subscribe. Dunno why but that makes it work for me.

Yup. That's what I've had to do too.

Yep, same here.
