Ok. I was trying to join stuff on kbin but it was asking for me to log in. I’ll dig in more on a PC later. Looks like I need to change the url to subscribe. Not easy on mobile.
Edit: I created an account for kbin and subscribed to some communities (called magazines there). There are communities of the same name unique to Lemmy and kbin. However, you can subscribe to the communities unique to kbin from Lemmy provided the instance you joined is federated. For example, I like the Gaming community/magazine at kbin. I searched for it while signed into Lemmy.world and subscribed to it. Now I don’t need to kbin to see that content.
Oh, I see what you mean. I’m not familiar with kbin, I’ve seen it mentioned but just now bothered to google for it. Man that looks much nicer than Lemmy. ಠ_ಠ
Yes the url formatting can be a little wonky if you are getting it from a link somebody drops in a comment.
A consistent way is to go up to “communities”, then type in your search parameter in the search field and make sure the search is for “all” (as opposed to subscribed or local).
It will show you kbin (among others) communities related to your search term and you can click on them and subscribe.
