I wonder how long federation to kbin will take.
Leaving a comment to remind me to look in a few hours so I can subscribe.

Should be good to go soon. Someone needs to search for the community before it begins indexing. I just did that.

Thanks.

I had clicked on the ! Link. Does that trigger the search / index? Or is something else required?

It's available for me on kbin.social as of this writing, and I subscribed.

As far as I can tell, what one needs to do on kbin is search for communityname@instance to start the indexing process. I don't think that "!" goes in the search string.

But that's already run by now.

For people on kbin.social, you should be able to see it at:

https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

If you're on another kbin instance, do the above search. I'm still a little fuzzy about the right syntax in a comment to produce a link to perform such an initial search in a cross-lemmy/kbin, cross-instance fashion. I think that it should be:

!@[email protected]

Giving the following:

!@battlestations

But I could be wrong. I really wish that this particular issue would be made clear, as it's important for community discoverability.
