YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content - Lemmy.world

Because they don’t get listed by browse.feddit.de [http://browse.feddit.de] you’ll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines [https://kbin.social/magazines] to browse “magazines”, which is what they call communities e.g. [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration [https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration] Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @[email protected] [/u/[email protected]] over the past few days.

So I'm looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I've tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/[email protected]), I've tried searching in the "communities" search, and I'm just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?

  • paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/Utah
  • now it's available at [email protected]

    Ah ha, I was trying to do the short url ([email protected]), and that wasn't working. Thanks!

    Other Fediverse systems use the syntax @[email protected].

    kbin currently has a bug with the [email protected] syntax. Your link becomes https://kbin.social/c/[email protected], which isn't valid (should be https://kbin.social/m/Utah). It's a little weird because while the c/ part is what we'd expect if it was a Lemmy sub, it still shouldn't be repeating the domain. I'm sure that'll be fixed shortly, though. Maybe I'll go dig into the code myself.

    At any rate, the @[email protected] syntax should work in kbin. I'm unclear if it works for Lemmy. Here's a link so you can try it: @Utah

    Utah - kbin.social

    Magazine dedicated to everything **Utah**. Discuss news, culture, events, experiences, questions, etc., about the Beehive State.

    Do you know how/if I can subscribe to their main page?

    So, I am on lemmy.one and I go to search communities, and paste https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration and nothing comes up. Am I doing something wrong?
    Show threadCodingAndCoffeeJun 15, 2023
    No, that's the correct way to do it.

    Hm, still nothing comes up if I search for the whole link.

    But, if I search for just "RedditMigration", it shows up.
