Sometimes when I’ve found new communities on non local instances I’m unable to subscribe directly and I get a screen where it asks me what instance I’m subscribing from and when I click the only suggestion “lemmy.world” it doesn’t recognize it as valid. I know you can subscribe to these communities in distant instances by using the local search bar with an exclamation point in front of it but it’s a convoluted process and could be streamlined.
