Basically I want to follow https://kbin.social/m/chess without the assle of browsing a different website.

Is it possible to follow and comment a kbin magazine ou lemmy?

UPDATE: I was able to subscribe to /m/chess on lemmy.world, but I still don’t see any of their posts. Maybe I’ll only receive the new ones? I tried to create a post there and it does show on kbin! However, comments don’t seem to show up on kbin yet, trying to wait it out.

Go to communities and paste the url https://kbin.social/m/chess in the search box. It won’t find anything, but if you change the selection box from communties to all, you should see [email protected] in the result. Click on the and subscribe.

UPDATE2:

  • I only see new posts, older posts don’t show up. That’s fine

  • I can create a new post, it shows on kbin. However, comments made on lemmy don’t show up in kbin. Comments on kbin show up in lemmy

  • Made a second posts, everything worked fine. Comments show up on kbin just fine. Weird…

  • New posts made on kbin show up on lemmy. Comments made on lemmy on a post created via kbin work fine. They also show up on lemmy. No idea why but I’m happy.

Thanks, everyone!!!

    Yes, but the usual [email protected] format wont work. Instead, paste that entire url into search, and you should be able to find and sub to that mag.

            You can do the same trick with posts. The most efficient way is to copy the URLs of the leaf comments (you want the colourful pentagram link not the chain link one). I assume that if there’s a new reply then all the parent items also get pulled in.

            You don’t even need to search for posts if they have comments, just start grabbing the comments.
