How to subscribe to a kbin community in Lemmy?
I heard that Lemmy and kbin are interoperable, which is good since people are making different choices.
So now I'd like to subscribe to a community on kbin.social, but darned if I can find out how. I've tried putting the name (e.g., @[email protected]) into search, I've tried using ! instead of @, I've tried using the URL, nothing comes up.
Am I missing something, or is this simply not an option?
Thanks.

Thanks! I hate posting duplicates and I tried to search before posting, but that's life :-(
No worries. My post hasn't gotten a clear answer yet either, except for suspicions that it's issues with load . I just wanted to make sure that if someone does figure out the issue, we get everyone who is asking filled in.
Afaik, you actually can't, at least for now. You can follow everything from Kbin though.
I think it might go the opposite way? I'm really not sure, but it looks like you can sub to a lemmy instance in kbin, but not the other way around. I may be way off, though, and I would love to know the correct answer if I am.
I tried pasting a kbin magazine link into the search box but nothing ever showed up in my communities. I would love to be wrong but I’m not sure we can subscribe to their native groups.
We can, with the same link structure as for other Lemmy communities. I'm subbed to a few. Or if you use the search function, I think you leave out the ! and replace with @. Also, I think they're having server issues today due to a DDOS attack.
Yup, apparently it's a side-effect of hastily turning on CloudFlare protection. Might be more of a hug-of-death situation than a DDOS, though both scenarios kind of lead to the same outcome.
Glad to hear it’s possible. I’ll give it try next week after things hopefully stabilize but with the looming Reddit shutdown on the 12th I might have to wait a bit longer.
I recommend trying to search the full link (while being logged in with a browser, not Jerboa) into search instead of @---@***.&&& because unless the there are others on your instance already subscribed it is not always going to work that way. I hope this is helful to you.
Yeah. Searching for the full URL, including https://, worked for me
