I searched for and found a community on another instance, but I don’t see any options to subscribe… could someone ELI5? I must be missing something obvious.

I’m using Firefox via Android if that makes a difference?

    Go to Communities then search and type in the full name e.g. !asklemmy@lemmy.ml

    Click search and wait a moment

    To know the name look at the front page for the community and its name will be under the display name (will start with a bang)

    Assuming you’re viewing on mobile, at the top of the page, there should be a Sidebar button. Click that and it will expand the sidebar. There should now be a Subscribe button for you to subscribe to the community.

    Note that the URL should look something like <local instance url>/c/<remote channel>@<remote instance hostname>. For example, my local instance is Beehaw too and I’m trying to view AskLemmy on lemmy.ml, so it should be something like beehaw.org/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
