Hello fellow Redditugee, I found Lemmy Explorer https://lemmyverse.net/communities to be very handy. I like the layout and the search/sort capability. The process I followed to subscribe to communities was to:

• In Lemmy Explorer, click on the community@instance name (eg !maliciouscompliance), which automagically copies it to the clipboard.
• Then in my home instance (aussie.zone) I clicked on the search icon (magnifying glass) and pasted the details into the search box.
• I then click Next (not search).
• The search will initially show “No Result” while it searched the Fediverse, but then the community will show up (I’m using dark mode so it shows up in green as a link).
• I click on the link to open the community from my home instance and click on the subscribe button. Initially the community may be set to “Subscribe Pending” - I guess it needs to be reviewed. I’ve also managed to subscribe to Kbin magazines from Lemmy using this process. Note: this is on PC using Firefox
