I'm in the same boat as you, just tryna figure everything out, but I'm pretty sure android exists here, if you press on the menu button next to your username and select "Magazines" in the drop down you can search for specific ones. I wonder if tagging it would work: @android
Edit: hmm it looks like it linked the user instead, not sure how to make it link to the magazine... wait nevermind it works now? I really don't get this U.U
Just as a warning, you are on Kbin, which is a bit different from Lemmy. The two communicate just fine, but have different UIs and features. Lemmy generally has "communities" instead of "magazines", but they work in mostly the same way.
For Lemmy, generally going to the search menu in the UI allows you to search for communities, but not every one will come up (for example if the server you are on doesn't know about another new server yet). If is often better to use a third-party website like browse.feddit.de to find new communities.
Not sure how subscribing to them would work on Kbin, though.
With kbin it's the same syntax as Lemmy but you omit the
!
; plugging in something like[email protected]
into the search bar will have that community's sidebar information appear, and from there you can subscribe.I'm using Jerboa so it seems to be a bit different.
The @ thing seems a little unpredictable. sometimes it links a user account (even nonexistent ones) and sometimes it links the magazine. not sure there's a way to force it to one or the other...
