A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's kinda tricksy. You need to visit the comm from within your own instance. The easiest way is to click Communities, then All, then search for it - however you have to know what you're looking for, and you can't filter or sort by instance.
In this case, searching would be hard, as the comm is called "main". There are probably lots of other mains in different instances.
For you, try beehaw.org/c/main@rblind.com. However, it could be that it's too new for your instance to know about it, in which case I'm not sure but you may just have to wait until beehaw federates with it.
I think there's also a generic way to format links such that anyone can click them from their own instance and get their instance's version, however I haven't learned that yet. Something like !main@rblind.com. Also, things can work different on apps vs the website - for example Jerboa only lets you browse comms you're subbed to.
Like this: [/c/main@rblind.com](/c/main@rblind.com], won't work when reading the comment on kbin, though. For people too lazy to click on "view source" (or unaware of it): [](/c/@)
Making that stuff easier and more intuitive is on the dev's list.
Interesting, I tried subscribing from the website (on beehaw) and it just says "subscribe pending". Maybe I do have to just wait for beehaw to federate with it.
