How do I subscribe to/find a non-kbin community?

I hope it's ok to ask questions here...

So, here's a thread: https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world/t/48054/Skeptic-A-community-for-critical-takes-on-pseudoscience-quackery-and

In that thread, there's a link to a lemmy community (!skeptic) if I click that link, it takes me to the lemmy.world website.

How can I find and subscribe to that community from within kbin?

I tried going to kbin.social/m/!skeptic but that doesn't work. Searching for skeptic results in a bunch of posts and comments.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I just figured it out. The correct formatting is:

kbin.social/m/community@instance

So for in my case, it's kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world

Still, is there a way to filter search results to only show communities?

Glad you figured it out. In response to your edit:

Go to the magazine search page, search for community@domain, and (on mobile) scroll to the right, then press subscribe.

Hi! Can you help me?
I tried to search for gardening@thegarden.land (https://thegarden.land/c/gardening) but it doesn't show anything and going straight to https://kbin.social/m/@gardening@thegarden.land shows error 404. I wonder what's the reason?

Hi, just a guess but I think for whatever reason content isn't being pulled to kbin directly from that domain, because when you go to https://kbin.social/d/thegarden.land it only shows threads posted there by users of other domains. I'll keep an eye on it to see if it eventually pulls through.

sparky222b,

I'm having this issue too in both directions, I can't get kbin to find my Lemmy instance at lemmy.federate.cc, or vice versa - neither one seems to pull content from the other... if anyone has an idea, please let me know!

Replace the ! with an @ and search with the search bar.
@skeptic

edit: added link as text was butchered in translation

Thank you. Your link is all messed up for me though, it shows as: https://kbin.social/m/quickstart/t/51597/www.kbin.com/m/@skeptic@lemmy.world

I've no idea what's going on, but I got what you meant. Cheers.

34,

Yeah I'm not sure what the link issue is I'm trying to figure it out myself as that is not the link I have entered. The link should be without quotes "kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world" see the attached screenshot. Not sure why the link is being translated from what it is entered as.

Trying something:
[@skeptic@lemmy.world](kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world)
@skeptic

[@skeptic@lemmy.world](http://kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world)
@skeptic

[@skeptic@lemmy.world](https://kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world)
@skeptic

edit: I guess you need to add protocol at the front for the link

What is happening!? Both of your last links work ONLY IF I open them in a new tab (middle click). If I click on them directly they do not work and go to (https://kbin.social/u/)

Testing: @skeptic

This is so weird.

Simply typing "(at)skeptic(at)lemmy.world" turns it into a link that seems to be correct, pointing to (https://kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world) - see above

HOWEVER, if I click directly on the link, for some reason it takes me to a user profile that doesn't exist (https://kbin.social/u/@skeptic@lemmy.world)

BUT if I middle click the link to open in a new tab, it correctly goes to (https://kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world)

I have no idea what is happening or where to report this behaviour.
