On another Lemmy instance, I saw that I was not logged in but could subscribe by putting “[email protected]” into the search field. However, when I put it into the search field of this Lemmy instance, it gives me a comment containing that string, but does not allow me to subscribe.
What is the correct way to do it?
Thanks, that helps me for this. Is this a general way? So I don’t put it into any search bar, but just write https://lenny.world/c/(everything without !) or is the emulation community a special case?
That’s not the official way but that’s how the URL for communities looks like, at least currently. If you want you can automate that with a bookmark on Firefox: https://lemmy.world/comment/332210 (see also my comment there about %S vs %s).
Wow, thanks, that helps a lot!
