I've seen this mentioned a few times already: people wondering why certain communities don't show up in their instance. You need to first search for that community via the magnifying glass icon and type in "[email protected]"

Notice the exclamation mark at the beginning. Might take a few seconds. This will teach your instance about the remote community.

AFAIK, it does. But the url structure is slightly different. Instead of
https://kbin.social/c/[email protected]
It would be https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] with an “m” instead of a “c”.

I’m still learning, so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

It would be awesome for it to convert https://lemmy.ml/c/memes into https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] automatically.

For real. I feel like I recall a browser extension doing something similar for Mastodon. But I don’t have the coding knowledge to adapt that to this use case.

Interesting, I might look into modifying the extension for it to work with kbin
