I am going to try and post this from lemmy.ca

If it works, I guess I've answered my own question.

That is how the federation works! Also can see posts on other platforms like Mastodon, calckey, plerma. Enjoy!

It entirely took me way too long to figure out how to sub to other fediverse communities from within kbin.

Can you share this secret information?

[–] WarzoneOfDefecation@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

From the top bar, click on Magazines. There should be search bar where you can search for lemmy communities/kbin magazines.

I searched for "canada" and there are many results of different Canada communities from different fediverse instances. Click subscribe on the right and you'll see posts in those communities appear in your sub feed.

I should have looked first, because that was really easy! Thanks.

Can you tell me why !mls@lemmy.world doesn't show up when I do a magazine search on kbin.social?

[–] WarzoneOfDefecation@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

@AndILearnedSomething Are you sure mls is on lemmy.world? I only see a mls@lemmy.ml community.

I went to lemmy.world and searched for the mls local community and I don't see it there.
https://lemmy.world/c/mls <-- doesn't work

Either way, you have the right idea, you put the community name after https://kbin.social/m/ , except without the !.

However when I tried https://kbin.social/m/mls@lemmy.ml it still didn't work while other communities like https://kbin.social/m/memes@lemmy.ml work. So I don't have a solid answer for you for why its not showing up in kbin. Perhaps someone else who's an expert can chime in. My hunch is that there's some slowness where kbin has not noticed there is a new mls community on lemmy.ml because of all the new people joining and its causing hiccups

[–] AndILearnedSomething@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I think whoever created that community screwed up the naming:
https://lemmy.world/c/mls@lemmy.world

It SHOULD be lemmy.world/c/mls, but the real address is /c/mls@lemmy.world

I'm betting kbin can't parse /m/mls@lemmy.world@lemmy.world

[–] cjerrington@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

kbin uses the @username style. So replace the ! with @ and search again. Same for usernames and communities/magazines

[–] DoucheAsaurus@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Just type the community name into the search bar on kbin. As an example:

gaming@beehaw.org

futurama@lemmy.world
