Is there a good discovery tool for kbin magazines like lemmy has? (kbin.social)

I've got a lemmy account elsewhere in the fediverse, and I have found this tool for finding instances and communities: https://lemmyverse.net/

I only just discovered though that it doesn't work with any kbin sites, it just doesn't list them at all. Is there any good way to browse different kbin magazines like this?

Ideally I want to be able to easily search by keyword and by instance. I love that this part of the fediverse is expanding, it just seems to me that it needs a good content discovery method.

The kbin.social search will only show magazines already federated into kbin.social, and won't show magazines and communities elsewhere in the fediverse that you can subscribe to. You have to find those elsewhere and then bring them into kbin.social (or whichever instance you are a member of) using the search functionality.

Ah, gotcha. Although this is only an issue with very new or very tiny communities / magazines.
