Lets make a thread to post our niches that we have found here. Big magazines are ok too.

I’ll start: /m/mechanicalkeyboards, so glad it migrated here!

Edit: You can add a direct fediverse link (so that any users from any fediverse instance looking at this post can click on it) with the following two methods:

Click on the “link” button in the text editor, or manually write in the following format (all together):

[ /m/mechanicalkeyboards ] ( https://kbin.social/m/mechanicalkeyboards )

OR (all together):

@ mechanicalkeyboards @ kbin.social

Edit 2: magazine / community names are case-sensitive apparently, mind the uppercase letters!

      Along with permaculture and natural gardening, I loved the NoLawns subreddit, hopefully that’ll pop up as a magazine here - I haven’t wanted to jump in and start things without giving a chance to the previous mods a chance at it, along with the fact that I would have no clue what it would take to do that nor the time to mod

    Great to start a collection of magazines! I’m still a little lost here… I’m looking for something along the lines of WitchesVsPatriarchy and general witchy/pagan magazines. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated =)

      Wanted to say thank you for the link, and also for the instructions there to tell me how to follow from kbin. Although I had to drop the initial ! to find a subscribe button. That is probably user error. fediverse is confusing af tbh

        It takes awhile to get into it, but you’ll get there!

        The biggest difference with syntax is that lemmy uses the !exclamation mark and kbin uses the @at sign to link communities.

      Pretty much instantly subscribed to these, it was nice to find something familiar right off the bat when I registered here. Thanks!

    How do I search kbin to find communities on Lemmy instances? For the life of me, all I can find are the local kbin magazines. They’re great, but I’m newer here and already started participating in communities on beehaw and other instances. I’d like to be able to keep up with those communities too.

    Honestly, the redundancy is looking like it’s going to be a problem. There’s a technology community of some sort on every instance for example. solarpunk, futurology etc.

    Anyway, if someone knows the magic syntax where I can find and subscribe to these communities from kbin, I’d really appreciate it!

    Edit: I’m an idiot. It looks like all you have to do is search for the right term. IOW, like Technology. So it’s not likely that you’ll find the exact same community if you don’t know the correct community name or a partial name. There’s no browsing of a Lemmy instance from what I can tell. Plus, I was using mobile until today. I think on my phone, the location of the community was truncated, so I had no idea that I’d already found the other communities I was already taking part in.
