Why YSK: making the most of the fediverse means aggregating content from as many places as possible, but it’s not an intuitive process right now, especially for those using apps like Jerboa or Mlem.
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:
- Note the name of the kbin magazine you want to subscribe to (example: kbin.social/m/books)
- Log into your Lemmy instance from a browser
- 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
- 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 started on lemmy.world, but I really like the look and layout of kbin. How would I go about bringing the lemmy.world subs over to kbin?
It’s a manual process right now, they don’t have a transfer function like Mastodon does. But I imagine this will be upgraded in the future. I’ll typically just go to my instance’s search function and filter for just communities and just start searching and adding - haven’t tried Kbin fully so I don’t know the experience on that platform.
