are you on desktop or an app?

I know on desktop you should be able to log into sh.itjust.works, then click on the Communities tab and there will be a search box

if you paste [email protected] into the search box and hit search it will attempt to federate that community onto sh.itjust.works

it can take a minute to appear but the search result should eventually switch from no results to showing the 'cats' community and you can then view/subscribe right there from your home instance

same applies to any remote community, you need to search for the !community_name@instance_name from your home instances search box

Thanks! I'm on desktop and was successfully finding communities in search, just unable to join them - maybe it's finicky right now. I was finally able to join [email protected] and [email protected] under this account, but wasn't able to earlier. Opening any links (including from search) to community sites under the midwest.social instance would sign me out.
