If nobody has ever subscribed to a foreign instance’s community/magazine before, it won’t show up on your home instance. Currently, the best way to pull it into your local instance is to copy its web address on the other site into your local search.
e.g. If you wanted to pull in kbin.social
’s AskKbin from lemmy.world
you’d find its URL, https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin
, and paste that address into your home instance’s search box. As long as somebody has done this once, AskKbin will now show up in regular community lists, searches, etc.
You already got a solution to this, but an alternative mechanism for people who use uBlock Origin is to add this filter to your custom list:
That assumes you’re on
kbin.social
, obviously substitute in your home kbin instance.
