Can someone please remind me how to open a Lemmy community in kbin? Maybe this is a bigger issue on mobile.

If I open a federated community I see this in kbin : https://imgur.com/a/oFQnMqj

And if I click the link to ‘Browse more on the original instance’ I’m brought to this screen : https://imgur.com/a/uNCvirP

And there is no option to subscribe without creating an account on that instance.

I think I might have read you need to search with a specific phrase but I can’t find where I saw that.

@Zana

Sorry not sure I understand. Let me try another example and maybe that will solidify it.

I’d like to join this community: https://imgur.com/a/lJX8b7u

When I search @asklemmy in kbin.social is see this: https://imgur.com/a/oeDPZ8i

I tried modifying the link you previously posted to show as : https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Which shows as : https://imgur.com/a/ysUutXx

But this community has far fewer subscriber and comments than the “original” Lemmy community, as seen here: https://imgur.com/a/givdaoE

So I am just trying to figure out… why? And how can I fix this? And how can I iron out the process? Thanks in advance!

Is there anyone out there in the #fediverse who might be able to help answer a question for a recent #redditMigration refugee trying to learn his way in this world?

@stillnotahero Ask away!

I've been on the Fediverse (Mastodon) for well over a year, and Kbin for a couple of weeks now - after 12 years of Redditing.

I think my biggest issue is using the kbin website (or PWA) and being able to search for a different ActivityPub-affiliated website, but stay within the kbin instance, so I can subscribe.

I have a post above with some screenshots to explain my question, here’s a link : https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/p/609057/-/reply/1082038
