Is there a good discovery tool for kbin magazines like lemmy has? (kbin.social)

I've got a lemmy account elsewhere in the fediverse, and I have found this tool for finding instances and communities: https://lemmyverse.net/

I only just discovered though that it doesn't work with any kbin sites, it just doesn't list them at all. Is there any good way to browse different kbin magazines like this?

Ideally I want to be able to easily search by keyword and by instance. I love that this part of the fediverse is expanding, it just seems to me that it needs a good content discovery method.

It does if you click on the hamburger menu in the top right and click Kbin Magazines lol

Edit: That being said I don't know if there's more than kbin.social on it in terms of kbin since we're the big one.

Ah. Thank you. I will go and hide in shame now.

The only thing I have to say in my defence is that it's not super obvious that that's there, and at least now the information is available to anyone that comes looking.

It seems to me though that it should just search both by default and not leave kbin as hidden by default. when I searched for instances the fact that no kbin servers came up is what told me maybe they weren't supported.
