Found this on a reddit post. If someone has created an alternate to a reddit community you can submit the link there. This might help with activity.

    Alright so I hate to ask but how to do I subscribe to a community in another instance from within kbin? For example if I wanted posts from https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance to show up in kbin.social, how do I do it? If I paste https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance into the search bar all I see is a list of posts and comments relating to that. Same if I search for [email protected].

    What I expect to happen (which is what happens in lemmy instances) is that I am shown a top level link to the community/magazine/whatever and I can click into it and then click “subscribe” but that doesn’t seem to be working for me in kbin.

    Edit: alright never mind the searching does work. It doesn’t show the community as obviously as I’d like it to but it is working now. Wasn’t working before for some reason though.

        The community I created isn’t currently showing up kbin.social. It’s over 24 hours old. Does it take longer for federation to happen?

      @mmmbacon Try as [@maliciouscompliance](https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance) (leading @ instead of !) The ! seems to be Lemmy-specific; @ is traditional elsewhere.

      Also I’m elsewhere (mastodon) so this is a test too.

      Edit because there is no preview and it autolinked :( The name should be @ user @ location (@ dis @ facebook29.com no spaces)
