Forgive me if this is truly a stupid question but I cannot find the answer and I have been afraid to ask.

Am attaching a screen shot to assist my babbling below.

When surfing thru the various communities (and please feel free to correct me if I use a wrong term here) I will see many that have the same name but only difference is that at the end of that name, there is an ‘@xyz.ca’ or similar.

I assumed these were just the same communities only started on different servers?

However I have seen several - like the one where my arrow points to that doesn’t have an ‘@‘ location at the end of it. Can someone explain to me the difference here? Thanks

    Until someone on kbin subscribes to it via putting in the url directly it doesn’t show up as kbin dose not know it exists iirc. Same thing with Lemmy, if someone on your instance isn’t subscribed to a community on another instance then it doesn’t show up until someone dose

    Edit: Getting a 404 error when I try to go there to subscribe, as money_loo said its probably a backend issue with kbin
