By the way, if you know the handle of a community, e.g. [email protected] for http://piefed.social/c/fediverse, you can add a ! to the beginning of it, e.g. [email protected], and send it as a DM to an alt account, or as the text body of a post to some test community. Then when clicking on the hyperlink it creates, initial federation with that community should start and let you subscribe. In the example I gave, it becomes ![email protected]. It works also with Peertube channels and Mbin magazines, and I'd imagine so too but yet to test, with Friendica groups and Wordpress blogs.

Same way you do with Lemmy communities from Lemmy.
That's what I was expecting, but it wasn't working. It is now, though. Thanks for the reality check. I think I'm good now.
They have to be federated with lemmy.world, most of them should be.
And then you can interact with them the same way as with Lemmy communities.
Check ![email protected] or ![email protected] for example.
Thanks! That helps a lot. I swear I couldn't find them before, but that link worked!
