Go to Communities then search and type in the full name e.g. !asklemmy@lemmy.ml
Click search and wait a moment
To know the name look at the front page for the community and its name will be under the display name (will start with a bang)
Assuming you're viewing on mobile, at the top of the page, there should be a Sidebar button. Click that and it will expand the sidebar. There should now be a Subscribe button for you to subscribe to the community.
Note that the URL should look something like <local instance url>/c/<remote channel>@<remote instance hostname>. For example, my local instance is Beehaw too and I'm trying to view AskLemmy on lemmy.ml, so it should be something like beehaw.org/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
Interact with it, such as a vote. The option will then appear.
You can subscribe to another community by visiting {yourinstance.com}/c/{communityname}@{otherinstance.com}
For example: https://beehaw.org/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !asklemmy@lemmy.ml
