I’m not sure how to word it. Basically if I’m browsing All on lemmy.world, I see a post I like on a community on lemmy.ml. To join that community on lemmy.world I have to copy/remember the community then go to search and add it through there.
Easiest way I can think to do this is when viewing a remote community and you tap the Subscribe button, it says “this is on a different instance, do you want to add it to on your instance instead?”
