I'm going to miss AITA. Even if someone makes it a community, it will take a long time to populate.

Question, blahaj.zone don't seem to allow me to use my account from lemmy.world, meaning nothing I subscribe to there will appear in my subscribed feed. Is there a way around this, or is this instance basically blocked off for me if I want everything together?

Hey, I'm guessing you're new today :)

You can subscribe to communities elsewhere, but you need to access them through your home instance first. There are usually instructions in the sidebar telling you the address to put into your home instance's search to find them.

However in this case since both you and I are both on lemmy.world, and I'm subbed to both of these, our instance already knows about them. Which means you don't need to do the search and can just go straight there: Gamedev, Godot

Sorry if that's super confusing, it'll make sense in no time I promise :D

So let's take https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/gamedev as an example, I want to access it via my home instance, which is lemmy.world (Tell me if there's a better one I should be using, lol) I can search for "gamedev" in communities and set it to all and that community shows up, but there's no option to subscribe, or anything. So, how do I access them on my own instance in this case?

Hmm, you're doing it right, when you click through from the community search there should be a big subscribe button in the sidebar. If not, I'm honestly not sure why that would be!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Figured it out! You click on the result, and then you'll be taken to the community, but opened in the same instance. From there, you can hit subscribe!

Yep! Someone actually made a bookmarklet yesterday so if you find yourself accidentally having opened a remote community link you can hit the bookmark to be taken back to the lemmy.world version...hang on...

javascript:(function() {const myInst="lemmy.world";let currUrl=window.location.toString().split("/");let currInst=currUrl[2];currUrl[2]=myInst;let newUrl=currUrl.join("/")+"@"+currInst;window.location=newUrl;})()

Just drag that code up to your bookmarks bar, it really helps take a lot of the jank out of things.
