This process works for any community whether it's on Kbin or Lemmy, and should work in any client including Voyager. It's the "correct" way that should work whether anyone from your instance is already subscribed:
This process needs to be a lot simpler. I can't tell you how many times I've had to do this for my partner (she just wants to use something other than Reddit but not technically inclined otherwise). If there was a prompt to fill it in for her, she'd be digging deeper into the fediverse.
Seriously - if we want any level of mass adoption, we have to design it more for the average person.
The best solution I know for this is a browser extension. One that knows YOUR instance and recognises another Lemmy and so can put in follow links. There exists the equivalent for Mastodon, but not Lemmy AFAIK.
Thanks friend. Much appreciated
