Search for remote magazines/communities not always works.

I think you put the wrong handles. I searched both @y2k and @frutiger_aero and now they work:

https://kbin.social/m/y2k@sopuli.xyz
https://kbin.social/m/frutiger_aero@sopuli.xyz

edit: problem is I'm not sure how to search for old discussions/posts to import them here. I tried with a few posts in the last few days but it didn't work like it does on masto/misskey. Searching the user sometimes seems to work.

Wait! I tried to search a thread and it didn't show results but if you check the magazines it's there.

Searching for "linux" should bring up all communities from all federated instances.

This is already working for me today: I discovered several magazines this way, and a search for "linux" brings up groups on other instances:

https://kbin.social/magazines?q=linux

The third result on that page is @linux@lemmy.ml – do you not see the same?

I should be able to merge instances for viewing

As long as it's optional and you're able to choose which ones you merge.

I totally get how that could be useful, but it's not something I'd want. There are federated instances that I mostly avoid, like lemmy.ml, which which welcomes and encourages CCP propaganda and disinformation.

I have had the same (or similar?) issue.

I can search for example1@lemmy.ml and it works and I can subscribe in kbin.

But then I search for example2@lemmy.ml and get no results.

These Communitys can be found on lemmy.one but not on kbin.social. Why is this?

!internetisbeautiful
!fossdroid
!privatelife
!deutschland
!privacy
!de_edv
!fediverselore
!raspberrypi
!cybersecurity
!Futurology
!privacy
!cryptocurrency
!Netzpolitik
!decentralized
!bitcoin
!privacy
!retrogaming
!linuxdesktopporn

I have the same problem, trying to add !deutschland ad independent of what I do it doesn't show up.

Ok, in https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/8373/Lemmy-compatibility someone figured out that you need to replace the ! with a @ and then it works to find it through the search. I tried it and could subscribe to the magazine I wanted.

Do you search in the search bar or in magazines?

if I search for @ communityname @ servername. whatever in the search bar it works for me. I had to use the spaces to get it to display properly

Stingray, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

How exactly did you find your community? I've been trying all the suggestions here and the post you linked to with replacing the ! with @ and still can't find a community I'm looking for including your !deutschland Is the search term supposed to be @deutschland(at)feddit.de ? I also tried the spaces lol3droflxp mentioned below and nothing.

I'm still having problems with this, for example right now with photography@lemmy.world and analog@lemmy.ml.

I wonder if searching for the first time causes the sites to federate, but there is a delay so they don't show up immediately?
