How do I search for communities outside Lemmy.world from Lemmy.world from iOS?
For example, I was told to search for [email protected] from Lemmy.world in order for Lemmy to fetch it, but searching that using Lemmy search doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?
I’ve found that I’ve had best success for bin magazines by searching for the entire URL, e.g. kbin.social/m/catsubs
That being said, your [email protected] link worked just fine when I clicked it from my own instance.
Thanks for this, I was trying to subscribe using the URL formatted the other way and it wasn't working.
Does Lemmy use /C/ and Kbin /m/ for it's designation of communities?
When searching for a community by URL use the website only. No apps currently support it yet I think.
Edit: you can also just do it in the URL like this
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
i am very new round here. very much yet to understand.
your https link worked for me.
this is very strange.
It's actually pretty straight forward once someone takes the time to explain it. I'll try.
These ! Links are supposed to be universal I think. [email protected]
Then there's the long URL, https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]
First you start with your instance then /c/ just like Reddit did with r/ it means you're looking for a community, then an @ to target another instance.
In this example I started at lemmy.ml told it I was looking for a community, then told it where the that community lives in this case lemmy.world
For all things Futurama Rule 1: Don’t be a jerkwad! Rule 2: Alternate video links to be linked in a comment, below the original video. Related Communities - Futurama Sleepers [https://thesimplecorner.org/c/futuramasleepers] - Disenchantment [https://lemmy.world/c/disenchantment] - The Simpsons [https://lemmy.world/c/thesimpsons] - The Scary Door @ kbin [https://kbin.social/m/thescarydoor]
amazing!
i am now several hours of browsing into this and i can see quite easily what you have explained.
no longer confused (about this). thanks for your help!
If you have the name of the sub and the name of the instance, do your instance the/c/ then the sub name.
For your example it would be lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
Then you can subscribe to it from your lemmy.world username.
