For example, I was told to search for !catsubs@kbin.social from Lemmy.world in order for Lemmy to fetch it, but searching that using Lemmy search doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?

    I’ve found that I’ve had best success for bin magazines by searching for the entire URL, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/catsubs

    That being said, your !catsubs@kbin.social link worked just fine when I clicked it from my own instance.

    Edit: Realized your home is lemmy.world. I believe the !catsubs@kbin.social link format may not work from there as they’re still on 17.4, waiting fro 18.1 release rather than upgrading to 18.0. So, my positive experience may not mirror your own.

      Thank you, if it’s a matter of Lemmy.world not being updated yet then that makes sense. Your link works but pressing “subscribe” does not (it prompts me to login to KBin). Sounds like I just need to wait it out for the update. Thank you!

      Thanks for this, I was trying to subscribe using the URL formatted the other way and it wasn’t working.

      Does Lemmy use /C/ and Kbin /m/ for it’s designation of communities?
