This post comes from Lemmy, so at least we know that part works lmao.

But how seamless have you guys found kbin to lemmy interaction? Can you subscribe to Lemmy communities through kbin?

    when users talk about problems/culture/anything specific to their instance, they don’t tend to specify which instance they are talking about. which makes things confusing for users seeing the post on other instances.

    this can be added with kbin enhancement script. OP shows up as [email protected] for me.

    searching for communities on a lemmy instance only shows communities from lemmy instances, and the same for kbin.

    the magazine search seems to find lemmy communities just fine. If i search “cats”, for example, I can find [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] etc.

      The search function on kbin.social shows lemmy communities when someone on kbin.social first subscribes to that lemmy community. It will not show up if no one has subscribed to that community before you.

      This is why niche communities will be hard to find, popular communities will be easy to search.

      Even within kbin instances communities are not searched globally. For example, I made a Korean language community on kbin.social, if I search for it on another kbin instance like fedia.io, it will not show up. It’s the same when you search on any lemmy instance
