How do navigate to a tab from another tab using react navigation v5

Question

I have 3 tabs and each tab contains a set of stack navigators.

1. Home Stack

    const HomeNavigator = createStackNavigator();

    const HomeStackNavigator = ({navigation, route}) => {
      return (
        <HomeNavigator.Navigator>
          <HomeNavigator.Screen
            name="Home"
            component={Home}
          />
          <HomeNavigator.Screen
            name="Profile"
            component={Profile}
          />
          <HomeNavigator.Screen
            name="Settings"
            component={Settings}
          />
        </HomeNavigator.Navigator>
      );
    };

2. Store Stack

    const StoreNavigator = createStackNavigator();

    const StoreStackNavigator = ({navigation, route}) => {
      return (
        <StoreNavigator.Navigator>
          <StoreNavigator.Screen
            name="OurStore"
            component={Store}
          />
        </StoreNavigator.Navigator>
      );
    };

3. Community Stack

    const CommunityNavigator = createStackNavigator();

    const CommunityStackNavigator = ({navigation, route}) => {
      return (
        <CommunityNavigator.Navigator>
          <CommunityNavigator.Screen
            name="Community"
            component={Community}
          />
          <CommunityNavigator.Screen
            name="CommunityReply"
            component={CommunityReply}
            options={communityReplyOptions}
          />
          <CommunityNavigator.Screen
            name="AskCommunity"
            component={AskCommunity}
          />
        </CommunityNavigator.Navigator>
      );
    };

Tab Navigator

    const MainNavigator = createBottomTabNavigator();

    const MainTabNavigator = () => {
      return (
        <MainNavigator.Navigator
          screenOptions={tabScreenOptions}
          tabBarOptions={tabBarOptions}>
          <MainNavigator.Screen
            name="HomeTab"
            component={HomeStackNavigator}
            options={{tabBarLabel: 'Home'}}
          />
          <MainNavigator.Screen
            name="StoreTab"
            component={StoreStackNavigator}
            options={{tabBarLabel: 'Store'}}
          />
          <MainNavigator.Screen
            name="CommunityTab"
            component={CommunityStackNavigator}
            options={{tabBarLabel: 'Community'}}
          />
        </MainNavigator.Navigator>
      );
    };

Now Home tab when a button clicked I need to navigate to CommunityReply Screen inside Community Tab Navigator. Can some please help me with this

The below should work in this case:

navigation.navigate('CommunityTab', { screen: 'CommunityReply' });
