kbin now accessible from lemmy instances?
kbin now accessible from lemmy instances?
I am going to try and post this from lemmy.ca
If it works, I guess I've answered my own question.
You're viewing a single thread.
That is how the federation works! Also can see posts on other platforms like Mastodon, calckey, plerma. Enjoy!
It entirely took me way too long to figure out how to sub to other fediverse communities from within kbin.
Can you share this secret information?
Just type the community name into the search bar on kbin. As an example:
Or
futurama@lemmy.world
From the top bar, click on Magazines. There should be search bar where you can search for lemmy communities/kbin magazines.
I searched for "canada" and there are many results of different Canada communities from different fediverse instances. Click subscribe on the right and you'll see posts in those communities appear in your sub feed.
Can you tell me why !mls@lemmy.world doesn't show up when I do a magazine search on kbin.social?
@AndILearnedSomething Are you sure mls is on lemmy.world? I only see a mls@lemmy.ml community.
I went to lemmy.world and searched for the mls local community and I don't see it there.
https://lemmy.world/c/mls <-- doesn't workEither way, you have the right idea, you put the community name after https://kbin.social/m/ , except without the !.
However when I tried https://kbin.social/m/mls@lemmy.ml it still didn't work while other communities like https://kbin.social/m/memes@lemmy.ml work. So I don't have a solid answer for you for why its not showing up in kbin. Perhaps someone else who's an expert can chime in. My hunch is that there's some slowness where kbin has not noticed there is a new mls community on lemmy.ml because of all the new people joining and its causing hiccups
I think whoever created that community screwed up the naming:
https://lemmy.world/c/mls@lemmy.worldIt SHOULD be lemmy.world/c/mls, but the real address is /c/mls@lemmy.world
I'm betting kbin can't parse /m/mls@lemmy.world@lemmy.world
kbin uses the @username style. So replace the ! with @ and search again. Same for usernames and communities/magazines
