I’m new (signed up today, this is my first comment), but it seems that the thing to do is to go to your own instance, tap the three bars in the upper right and click the magnifying glass to search, then enter the full path of the community you want in the search box. So if you wanted the “News” community on beehaw.org, you’d enter !news@beehaw.org. Then it will come up in the search, but now you’ll be able to tap it and subscribe.
