so you're a lemmy.world user, in theory just go to any community there that you're interested in (eg: https://lemmy.world/c/technology) and click subscribe at the top right of the page.
if you find a community on another server that you're interested in, let's say "programmer_humor" on the "programming.dev" instance (https://programming.dev/c/programmer_humor), you can go to that community on lemmy world by searching for its name on the search page (the community box has a search icon that appears when you click on the triangle). that takes you the lemmy.world view of that community. you can subscribe from there. if you know the name of the community and the server instance you can just go straight to it by entering the URL in your browser like this:
https://lemmy.world/c/programmer_humor@programming.dev
i'm not a huge fan of the lemmy web UI honestly, i find it a little clunky. there's a bunch of good apps coming out now. i like wefwef.app (web app) and memmy (iOS). wefwef is surprisingly feature-rich and is being updated like crazy (2 or 3 big new features every day for the last few days).
