Is there a community on Lemmy to help find the right community on Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

I often want to ask for official reddit replacements or similar/same ones but don't know at which sublemmy (community, which word is more appropriate?)

I always see the lemmyverse site recommended, but I have trouble subscribing to any community I find on there. If you click on a link on that site, it takes you to that instance. But you need an account on that instance to push the "subscribe" button. I can't figure out a way to subscribe to, say, lemmy.world/c/technology when my account is on lemm.ee

There's a house icon in the top right. Click that and set your home instance to lemm.ee. Now all the links will open in lemm.ee 🙂

Thank you! This has been driving me crazy. You are a hero.

I just use the native search on lemmy itself. Just use the All filter so you get all communities your instance has already federated with, then subscribe from there.

I'm a Lemmy newb, but what I've been doing is copying the instance address, and paste it into Jerboa if I'm mobile, or into a different tab where I'm logged into my instance on browser. It's not hard, but it worries me that people aren't going to understand it going forward. I'm hoping eventually it gets a little more integrated.

I can't even find a place on lemm.ee, using my browser, that would let me paste an arbitrary community path.
