From Kbin you can subscribe to whatever sublemmies you're interested in as if they were magazines.
You could also do the same in reverse from Beehaw/Lemmy.world, but KBin currently doesn't federate properly (due to Cloudflare DDoS protection.)
Kbin has been back to federating for a couple days now, hi from Kbin!
For me subscribing isn't the issue... it's seeing the subscription afterwards that I can't seem to do.
Haha sublemmy So cute <3
How do you subscribe to lemmy communities from kbin? I have an account on there can look at the local stuff, but struggling to search and find things lemmy wide.
When you are the first person from your instance to subscribe to another instances community, it takes up to 15 seconds from searching for your instance to download and show it.
I have had good luck pasting the full web address of the instance/c/community into the search.
Yeah a waited a little. Which is unlike me tbh ha. Ah so if its worked for you with full address must just have been a hiccup when I've tried than thanks
Search for
@[email protected]Click subscribe.
Ah I've probably been getting syntax wrong. Was not using the @ and trying full address like on lemmy search, amongst other formats. Thanks will give it another go
Just type the name of the group in the search bar like so:
[email protected]
Was trying this but no results. Thanks will keep trying
Federation has been janky. The whole site has been janky, with 500 and 503 errors, and all sorts of things.
It's just going through growing pains.
If you look at the main page, using 'All' (under the hamburger menu), a lot of what you see there will actually be from remote communities. Currently, kbin doesn't do a great job of surfacing the fact that those communities are remote, but if you hover over the community names, many of them will be formatted like /m/[email protected]. Those are remote communities.
Right, was wondering how to see what wasn't local also. Thanks
Are you on mobile or desktop? Mobile has a separate search bar for magazines but I haven't seen a distinction on desktop.
Mobile with firefox. Was trying the general searchbar. Didn't see the one in magazines thanks
Click on Magazines and use the search tool there. The global search doesn't appear to work. When you search for a community you can search with the full name ([email protected]) or just a term (wall street). If you use a full address, don't include the leading @ or !, it won't return any results. And the search isn't like google. Wall street will return different results than wallstreet, for instance.
I've just managed to find a community instead of the general search results from general. Used the
@[email protected]I'm guessing reading everyones experiences that's its just a bit flaky and probably more likely when i've search is the issue not what . thanks for the tipsI haven't seen a cloudflare today. It might be off now.
