An example:

Say you wanted to add “ShowerThoughts” from lemmy.world.

  1. Go to https://lemmy.world/c/showerthoughts
  2. In the right column, Look for the blurb that says something like “You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !showerthoughts@lemmy.world”
  3. At the bottom of that blurb, you see where it says “!showerthoughts@lemmy.world”? You copy that.
  4. Then you go to the search page on this site(from the search button in the upper right of this page), and you search for what you just copied. You may need to search for it 2-3 times for it to come up.
  5. One of the results will be that community. Click the link, and then click join in the right column.

From that point forward, you should see posts from that community in your feed on this site.

    to login? what do you mean? WHO can login with those accounts? and logon to what?

    Please understand that I’m not complaining.I am upset with myself because I can’t understand how this whole fediverse thing works… or doesn’t work

    ANYWAY. FINALLY, the thing is. I thought I wasn’t going to need to make more accounts in more websites. I don’t want to do that.

    I HAVE been able to join other lemmy places, so there are limits, it seems.Lemmy sites can interact with other sites, but not “fediverse sites” that are not lemmy…? sigh my head hurts.

    I bookmarked those accounts I’m interested in. I guess I’ll manually go check them out from time to time, if I remember to.
