I created a new community/magazine for British/UK comedy discussion - sitcoms, stand-ups, etc.
One of the below should work, I’ve found that pasting the URL into search works best for Lemmy:
!ukcomedy
!British Comedy@fedia.io
Nope! OP’s formatting has gone a bit wonky so it looks confusing but just click here and you can subscribe in the sidebar.
Notice how that lets you view the magazine through a lemmy.world URL even though the mag itself is on fedia.io, which isn’t even Lemmy it’s Kbin! Magic :)
Brilliant, that worked perfectly and I’m now subscribed. Thanks!
So is this the magic trick, if I want to subscribe to a different community that’s currently federated, I add it after lemmy.world/c/ ?
Pretty much, but bear in mind your instance needs to already know the community exists for that to work.
So if you ever try it and get a 404 error it means lemmy.world hasn’t been told about the community yet. You’ll need to go back and search for it first from lemmy.world/search (it’s the magnifying glass icon in the site header). Syntax is
!community@instanceto find Lemmy communities, or the full URL for Kbin magazines. It sounds complicated when I write it out but you soon get used to it 😅I’m sure it’ll feel like second nature soon enough! Also perhaps it’s good for us to have to work for it a little, instead of having everything spoonfed all the time haha.
That’s the spirit!
