But how did we get here? On kbin trying to search for a Lemmy community I can't find it, and on Lemmy looking for kbin the same happens. And yet here we are because someone figured out how to find it and subscribe.
Those kinds of things are slowly being ironed out, I believe.
If nobody has ever subscribed to a foreign instance's community/magazine before, it won't show up on your home instance. Currently, the best way to pull it into your local instance is to copy its web address on the other site into your local search.
e.g. If you wanted to pull in
kbin.social
's AskKbin fromlemmy.world
you'd find its URL,https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin
, and paste that address into your home instance's search box. As long as somebody has done this once, AskKbin will now show up in regular community lists, searches, etc.
