I have been seeing some comments from people struggling to subscribe to kbin magazines from Lemmy so here’s a step-by-step of how I’ve been doing it:

  1. Note the name of the kbin magazine you want to subscribe to (example: kbin.social/m/books)
  2. Log into your Lemmy instance from a browser
  3. The Lemmy instance you are registered with will be the first part of the URL and the kbin community will be the second part. Example: I’m registered with lemmy.world so to register with the kbin Books magazine I would type https://lemmy.world/c/books@kbin.social
  4. From there, just hit subscribe and it will start showing up anywhere you’re logged into your Lemmy instance (I use Jerboa).

Hopefully this helps spread the word!

    I think these instructions only work for communities someone on your instance has already subscribed to. Instead, try going https://lemmy.world/search and entering the full URL for the community ( https://kbin.social/m/LucidDreaming ). It’ll spin for a little longer than usual but it should show up in the search results.

    Edit to add: The community will probably appear empty, however… new posts will show up, but anything from before the you subscribed probably won’t. If you want to reply to a particular comment, though, you can make it show up by searching for its full URL.
