Alright I really thought I had cracked this nut, but some of these are still eluding me. I went on a run of subscribing to a bunch of remote communities and felt like I had really mastered the fediverse in theory and in execution... then I was humbled.
I'm guessing that the remote communities I've already subscribed to went very smoothly because somebody on kbin already did the hard work of finding them and subscribing, and I was unknowingly riding on their coattails.
The small community I'm trying to join is lemmy.world/c/pennsylvania. So far I've tried:
-
Pointing my browser to kbin.social/m/[email protected]
- 404
- I assume this is because kbin is so far, unaware of this community
-
Pointing my browser to kbin.social/c/[email protected]
- I was pretty sure this wouldn't work, but I've been wrong about things I was pretty sure about, before.
-
Pointing my browser to kbin.social/c/[email protected]
- I recently learned that kbin is unintentionally picky about capitalization in some cases. When I learned this, I REALLY thought I found the answer to my problem.

Click the magnifying glass, search for https://lemmy.world/c/pennsylvania
-
Click the magnifying class, search for https://lemmy.world/c/Pennsylvania
-
Click the magnifying glass, search for !pennsylvania
- I really thought this would work because I thought the ! is how you tell your instance to seriously go out and get something, even if it has never heard of it before. (is that just for lemmy?)
-
Click the magnifying glass, search for !Pennsylvania
I am defeated.
You have to search with an @ instead of the !
Here you go: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]
For the time being, the "owner" of new remote communities is always @ernest because he is the instance admin.
Hello! Your link says "The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance." And I cannot see any posts.
I've noticed this with the majority of communities I searched for outside of Kbin.
Do you know why this happens?
If I click that message, I get redirected to that respective community, example https://lemmy.world/c/pennsylvania.
Then I can see the posts, however I can't interact with them, since I would need to create and login on that respective instance, eg lemmy.world
Any idea why I can't see the posts from magazines outside Kbin?
