@BestOf or https://kbin.social/m/Bestof

Disclaimer: I'm the moderator. I would just like a good place in the fediverse where I can see all the best of it.

How do I subscribe to a kbin community from a lemmy account?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah wondering the same. I thought that was the whole point of the fediverse thing

Tagging @[email protected] as well in case either of you haven't got it working yet. Just take the actual URL of the Kbin mag and search for it from your instance, like you would normally search with the ! syntax for a Lemmy community.

So, if I search for https://kbin.social/m/Bestof I get no results. To do this, I went to "Communities" at the top of the page, then searched for that URL. I got this as a result:

That search finds Bestof.. as in your post but there's not "Subscribe" button so how do I add it to my subscribed communities? Sorry for teh ignorant Q, i'm ignorant

Searching for [email protected] does the same (iirc the latter is the preferred way to get to a federated instance's community, but I'm a noob so waht do i know?)

Copy the link into your Lemmy instance's search. It might take a second to show up as it federates but it should show up.
