I can’t find any specific Yes / No via search and my understanding is that’s not really possible due to how federated websites work, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can give me a straight answer.
I had something I wanted to post that wasn’t very relevant to any particular community, but more specific to me, kinda like a blog post.

Seems like a good community
but sadly doesn’t fit my use-case for reasons I haven’t yet stated.Thank you for the referral
, though.After poking around it does actually seem relevant, though it’s always against my nature to try to grab someone else’s limelight.
Unrelated but is there a way to convert someone else’s instance+community link to your own?
Obviously not faulting you for this, but when I click on your link I get taken to lemmy.zip, where I do not have an account so I cannot participate. I spent some time manually searching for that community on my own instance, which of course is a bit annoying for newbies and I would think there is a way around that I haven’t found yet.
You can link Communities like this:
!goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
@disregardable@lemmy.zip did link it badly
Thank you.
In their defense, a feature that’s not known by everyone isn’t really the fault of the people who don’t know about it.
Thanks to you, now they and I know about it.
Beauty of the fedi, you can post from one instance to another without needing a separate account. For example mine is a single person instance with no local comms, yet here I am.
Edit: I think I missed the intent of the question. What you would look for is just the same of the comm@instance.tld on your own local base and assuming that federation functional between the instances it’ll show up to subscribe to. There’s no translation needed, but if you’re the first to subscribe from your home instance it might not show up right away.
