I am browsing subscribed@programming.dev, but I get this error. How do I subscribe to communities on other instances? This is a huge barrier to entry.

    You can do it from your browser, log in to your instance and search for !turnbasedstrategy@lemmy.world or alternatively Lemmy.world/c/turnbasedstrategy, if it gives you zero results wait 10 to 30 seconds, then click on the result that says for example “turnbasestrategy - 1 subscriber” and join the community from there

      Yeah but that’s just not convenient for your average Joe. Doesn’t matter now, since they’ve implemented the feature to subscribe from other instances.
