Here’s the trick:

[some community](/c/some_community@server.tld)

So:

[WowThisLemmyExists](/c/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca)

Gives us this link: WowThisLemmyExists

Which links to that community... but within the instance you’re currently in! So you can actually subscribe to it!

(Many thanks to the Lemmy Project Chat on Matrix!)

Huh ... funny ... sounds like a bug that could be fixed so that some redirect occurs and you can then subscribe or at least view the community on its original page.
