1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world's rules, which can be found here.
2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/[email protected])
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

I tried to subscribe their, but it says I'm not logged in, and I have a feeling I'm not grasping how this works. I assumed because I am logged in on lemmy.world that when I click subscribe I was already logged in, but apparently not. Am I supposed to create a new account for each instance or each subscription or is there another way to do this?
To cross instances on your community, you need to stay on your community and access it from there.
Copy the URL of the community you want to subscribe to, then paste it into the search on lemmy.world. It'll take a moment, but the community will show up in the search, then you can join it.
I think there's a new way to list remote communities without all the steps, but I haven't mastered it yet.
No need to create a separate login over there. Simply copy the link from their sidebar [email protected] and then paste it into the search bar on your Lemmy.world account. That should open it on your side so you can subscribe. Or you can copy their complete URL from your browser search bar to paste in the Lemmy.world search bar.
