    Agreed. It seems promising and has that magic feeling of when I first encountered reddit for the first time post-Digg. That said, the federated aspects is neat but confusing… Still trying to work out how to view communities on different instances.

    EDIT: Ok so apparently this post is actually on a different instance. Now I need to figure out how to subscribe to remote communities?

      For now your best bet is to do the community search in the section at the top of the web ui. for example, choose “All” in the filter and search for “gaming” and it will find all gaming communities on all the intances.

      The sub you’re on right now also displays on the right hand side of the post, you can also press subscribe there.

        Thanks, now we’re cooking with fire! I originally was trying to do it on the Android app, seems like the search isn’t functioning as expected. Web UI works as expected, not a big deal anyways since I can just “app-ify” it with a home screen shortcut.
