I’m missing something.
I’ve been looking for a college football magazine. When I clicked “Magazines” on my Kbin home and entered football or cfb, nothing came up. Something comes up now, because I made one. But then I saw a link to a web page called “Lemmy Explorer” and when I search there, four or five CFB communities show up.
What’s the simplest path for finding communities or magazines based on a keyword and making sure I’m not missing anything?
Bonus question: How does subscription to a magazine affect content I see? So far, I have only tracked down subscribed material by having notifications turn on and following those links?
Piggybacking on myself. I can’t figure out how to subscribe to one of the other communities. One says to paste “[email protected]” into my instance’s serach field, but when I do that, I get a result that says “empty.”
To piggyback on this - this reply itself did not make it to my instance. I needed to search for it specifically using the “copy link to fediverse” and paste it in to my search box to consume this top-level reply. Here is a great example of how replies can be missed across instances.
I do see that from feddit.online this magazine is not being found. I am unsure why. I know that, at some point, some changes were made to lemmy to block incoming federation from kbin instances unless that is specifically removed by lemmy instance admins (e.g. you might reply or post and it never makes it to the actual lemmy instance), but that should not affect federating out to my understanding.
