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.

Try searching @[email protected], it will lead to https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] then there will be a subscribe button on the right. Mobile it might be on the bottom below all of the posts.

@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/[email protected]

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!

@stillnotahero @youshouldknow @Zana I don’t have any answers cuz I really haven’t messed with kbin yet. I am on lemmy.world and I simply search for the community within there are start following it. Seems like kbin works similarly?

@Lifecoach5000 As far as I can tell, kbin does work in a similar fashion. However, I am not sure if I am coming across two unique communities, depending on how I reach them (kbin search vs. Google search). Or if the discrepancy is because we are still in the infant stages of fediverse and not everything is going to mesh together 100% (e.g. some subscriber / comment totals might be off because they are not fully synced between instances yet?)
