Why YSK: making the most of the fediverse means aggregating content from as many places as possible, but it’s not an intuitive process right now, especially for those using apps like Jerboa or Mlem.

I have been seeing some comments from people struggling to subscribe to kbin magazines from Lemmy so here’s a step-by-step of how I’ve been doing it:

1. Note the name of the kbin magazine you want to subscribe to (example: kbin.social/m/books)
2. Log into your Lemmy instance from a browser
3. The Lemmy instance you are registered with will be the first part of the URL and the kbin community will be the second part. Example: I’m registered with lemmy.world so to register with the kbin Books magazine I would type https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
4. From there, just hit subscribe and it will start showing up anywhere you’re logged into your Lemmy instance (I use Jerboa).

Hopefully this helps spread the word!
