What about for Lemmy from Kbin? Like on the Lemmy page it says to type !streetfighter@lemmy.world into your search to get the result, but when I enter that in the Kbin search bar it errors out.
This would insinuate kbin is the only one requiring the whole URL, and it seems like that would severely hamper the discovery of only kbin magazines from non-kbin instances. Which is like. Most instances in existence. :/
Unless you mean the discovery is fine and it’s only how you have to subscribe to them, which I can’t check because I have no interest in setting up other accounts atm
I’m still not able to subscribe to magazines on here from Lemmy, which is interesting. Maybe federation needs some time to catch up.
Same. I’ve tried searching for kbin from lemmy, but nothing ever pops up. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong or it just isn’t fully working yet.
Figured it out - you have to put the entire URL into the Lemmy search bar. For example, to find @modeltrains, you need to search Lemmy for https://kbin.social/m/modeltrains.
Once one person subscribes, then the community will show up in searches for “modeltrains”.

For Lemmy -> Kbin, type
@streetfighter@lemmy.worldin the search at the top.This would insinuate kbin is the only one requiring the whole URL, and it seems like that would severely hamper the discovery of only kbin magazines from non-kbin instances. Which is like. Most instances in existence. :/

IMO, Lemmy is the one that’s incorrect by requiring the URL. Kbin does the same thing Mastodon does by having it use the @ instead.
