Found a killer deal on Craigslist today, couldn't believe my luck!
I don't think you understood what I was suggesting.
Use the search function at the top of Beehaw
I don't use Beehaw (my instance is lemm.ee), but let's pretend I do. My whole premise is I don't always start there. Like if run into a community on Lemmy Explorer or some other site (maybe a google search?), I can easily find myself on a community on a remote server.
For example, can you click here: https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions
What do you see? Any way to subscribe for you? It just tells you to go back home and search for it I would love there to be a browser extension or plugin that automatically recognizes the community's instance and address and sends it back home to Beehaw for you to subscribe. Can be via API or just redirect you to Beehaw's view of it
that would be amazing! even just like a hover popup or secondary link to send me to the community but through my instance would help a lot
To me, properly optimized native apps tend to be less-bloated than their web equivalents. Have you ever used "RIF is fun" for reddit? It is amazing, lots of tiny UI optimizations make it a pleasure to consume content much faster than scrolling up and down reddit's UI for both links and comments
you know what I really wish, some easier way to be able to subscribe to a community on a remote instance from your own account. Like a shared login or some browser extension that sees you're on a lemmy and allows you to subscribe from your account back home

The way they have done it is not by restricting other services directly, but by continuing to apply bandwidth/quotas to them while bypassing them for their own services "for free"
