I search the title on lemmy.world, and got this: https://lemmy.world/post/114305

Ok, so I've just joined it. You have to search for it in the 'All' communities tab and subscribe there first. Then you can post. That advice you followed in the thread you linked to is wrong - they missed out a crucial step.

Thanks, that worked. I had found it once but it had an error while I was trying to post my comment.

Is there a better way than a title search? Right now that works but when there's lots of activity it won't be ideal. It would be nice to be able to put a URL into the search bar.

I have no idea unfortunately - we're all feeling our way here at the moment...

Glad you found the solution to your problem, but in the future, please ask in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml or similar, this community is for open-ended questions

The thread lives in the community https://startrek.website/c/startrek , or startrek@startrek.website

If you want to view it from your home instance (to remain logged in), you can do this: https://lemmy.world/c/startrek@startrek.website

(people from other instances replace 'lemmy.world' with theirs)

I haven't figured out yet how to navigate to specific threads with this method. But there you should see the community while being logged in. The thread in question is #4 from the top.

Not sure if it's a "better way than a title search", but it's an alternative method.

Why can't I do that from kbin? I get a 404 when I try

Kbin.social/c/startrek@startrek.website
