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.

Thank you for posting!
To anyone else: Any thoughts on when/if we'll be able to subscribe to communities on kbin from lemmy?
It's working for me right now, the only trick is to use the URL in the search bar instead of the
!<community>@<instance>format.eg: https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin
Ah, thanks for this. I am on mobile so had to remember to expand the sidebar in order to see the subscribe button.
~~This is not working for me, I'm trying to subscribe to https://kbin.social/m/aspiememes but nothing is showing up. ~~
So you have to make sure the search is set to "All" and not "Community"
I noticed that too on my instance, but maybe 10 minutes after subscribing posts started federating properly.
It's actually working, but there is no recent activity on that community around the time you add that community, which is why it appear empty. To manually populate your instance with the older posts, try copy pasting the old individual posts you'd like to "pull" in the search page.
You actually can already.
If no one has done it already, you’ll take the full URL to the “magazine” on kbin and pop it in the search bar.
After a few moments it should pop up and you should be able to navigate to the channel and subscribe.
An example of a kbin community on my instance: https://lolimbeer.com/c/mechanicalkeyboards@kbin.social
I gotcha. It's a bit fiddly on mobile but see what you mean. Thanks!
It’s all completely fiddly, lol.
It’s neat! But there’s a definitely a lot of things that aren’t quite that intuitive.
Glad I was able to help though!
