I have an account on that instance and naturally, I can view all of the communities on that instance, but when I search communities from this account, it doesn't return any results from that instance.

Likewise, in a browser, I log in with this account and try to open a link to a post on that instance and it just says that I need to log in in order to post. 🤷

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

You have to copy the link to a community (or post or comment), go to the search bar, make sure the search is set to "All" and not "Communities," then paste the link, search for it, then search for it again. Existing posts and comments won't be synced (unless you search for them), but if you subscribe to a community then alll new posts and comments will be synced to your instance.

Those communities will show up on your instance, so you don't need to leave the website of your instance.

Yeah https://browse.feddit.de is great for finding other communities.

Will keep this bookmarked, thanks 👍.

Yeah, I did manage to add them through the web UI, just not through the app... just feels like a lot of switching between apps and a lot of copy/pasteing just so that I can add a community.
