For example, I was told to search for !catsubs@kbin.social from Lemmy.world in order for Lemmy to fetch it, but searching that using Lemmy search doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?
I’ve found that I’ve had best success for bin magazines by searching for the entire URL, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/catsubs
That being said, your !catsubs@kbin.social link worked just fine when I clicked it from my own instance.
Thanks for this, I was trying to subscribe using the URL formatted the other way and it wasn’t working.
Does Lemmy use /C/ and Kbin /m/ for it’s designation of communities?
Thank you, if it’s a matter of Lemmy.world not being updated yet then that makes sense. Your link works but pressing “subscribe” does not (it prompts me to login to KBin). Sounds like I just need to wait it out for the update. Thank you!
Try this link: https://lemmy.world/c/catsubs@kbin.social
For kbin use the whole url “https://kbin.social/m/catsubs” in the search function.
If you have the name of the sub and the name of the instance, do your instance the/c/ then the sub name.
For your example it would be lemmy.world/c/catsubs@kbin.social
Then you can subscribe to it from your lemmy.world username.
When searching for a community by URL use the website only. No apps currently support it yet I think.
Edit: you can also just do it in the URL like this
i am very new round here. very much yet to understand.
your https link worked for me.
this is very strange.
