A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This looks like a great resource! However, I'm having trouble subscribing to some lemmy communities on kbin. I tried copying the community name into the kbin magazine search but nothing is found. Do I just need to wait for federation issues to be fixed or is there something I need to do to "push" communication between different instances?
(Edit: I didn't even realize at first that this post is on beehaw. Looks like I still have some work to do getting acclimated to the fediverse.)
On Kbin if the community you want isn't showing in the magazine list, what you need to do is go to the search bar that searches the whole site and type in the Lemmy community name followed by an @ followed by the instance name. For example: [email protected]
After searching it should come up and you can subscribe to it. It only shows up in the magazines list once someone on the instance subscribes to it, so if you are the first to subscribe to it you have to do a manual search first
It worked! Thank you so much!
I didn't realize that searches for outside communities need to be done in the general search bar and not in the magazine search.
Yup! No worries! Glad you got it figured out!
