I heard that Lemmy and kbin are interoperable, which is good since people are making different choices.
So now I’d like to subscribe to a community on kbin.social, but darned if I can find out how. I’ve tried putting the name (e.g., @science@kbin.social) into search, I’ve tried using ! instead of @, I’ve tried using the URL, nothing comes up.
Am I missing something, or is this simply not an option?
Thanks.
I tried pasting a kbin magazine link into the search box but nothing ever showed up in my communities. I would love to be wrong but I’m not sure we can subscribe to their native groups.
We can, with the same link structure as for other Lemmy communities. I’m subbed to a few. Or if you use the search function, I think you leave out the ! and replace with @. Also, I think they’re having server issues today due to a DDOS attack.
Yup, apparently it’s a side-effect of hastily turning on CloudFlare protection. Might be more of a hug-of-death situation than a DDOS, though both scenarios kind of lead to the same outcome.
Glad to hear it’s possible. I’ll give it try next week after things hopefully stabilize but with the looming Reddit shutdown on the 12th I might have to wait a bit longer.
