How do I join lemmy communities from my brainbin account ? - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

In Mbin (the software thebrainbin uses) they aree called magazines
thebrainbin.org/magazines
thebrainbin.org/m/[email protected]
Magazines - the/brain/bin

content aggregator and micro-blogging platform for the fediverse

Yes, magazines. I create posts on certain lemmy communities called magazines from my account. But I wish to include more lemmy communities as magazines 😄😄😄😄😄

Try searching for the community explicitly – e.g. [email protected] – that should make the server aware that it exists. You may also need to subscribe to keep it from going stale, IIRC.

It’s been a while since my time on kbin, so apologies if I’m remembering something incorrectly or if mbin has diverged since then.

I’m putting the entire URL of the community onto the search bar, but the server’s taking too long to respond.

If that doesn’t work when you try again later, then try searching in the [email protected] format specifically, and also try searching for the URL of a specific post – that might get it to federate the post and then you should be to access the magazine from that if it succeeds.

If that still doesn’t work, message the admin of your instance and ask them for help.

Good luck.

Make sure you’re logged in while you do it, pretty sure most Fediverse software will refuse to fetch remote content if you aren’t logged in (to prevent abuse of resources)
