Ah scratch that, you have to manually enable the federation and it'll start working right away. That's a weird way to handle it.
I don't think the federation is working correctly as there are instances/magazines I've subscribed to a week ago and they're still not working.
I've had this happen with a few times while looking for communities. Does kbin not fully federate with Lemmy yet, or is there a delay in the federation syncing up?
The most recent time this happened was with the [email protected] community. Search magazines for "retro computers" did not show it. Going directly to kbin.social/m/[email protected] URL returned a 404. I then searched for [email protected] and the community appears in kbin at the same URL, and I can subscribe but no posts/threads are visible.
What's happening here - does someone have to manually search for a Lemmy community address before it will start appearing in kbin?
I think the same happened a few days ago with [email protected] but now that does seem to work normally.
I've also seen a few kbin magazines not appear in Lemmy either.
I'm not sure because I'm still new to kbin too. I'm also on kbin.social which is already big and people have already subscribed before to many of the magazines. So far it's always worked for me to use the search bar on the Magazines page, and just type the name or part of the name of the Lemmy community. It's kind of nice too since it'll show all existing communities/mags, and number of threads made, number of kbin.social subscribers.
for example I just try to type "anime" to find subs like that, and I tried "seattle" and could find it, but I'm guessing it's because you did that work just now to be the first subscriber on kbin.social?
just checked the page. says it was made 30 seconds ago so it probably just started syncing.
I see, I had to search for it then subscribe. Awkward
