So I seem to have found smaller Magazines / Communities that haven’t been on Kbin before and after finding them they seem to have no posts but after looking through Lemmy it seems they do have posts. Does it take time for Lemmy to add all the posts or is it only new posts that will come across?
The biggest downside along with not being able to search for non subscribed groups from another instances. Terrible design decision
One really bad and confusing thing about kbin is there are two searches. There is one at the Magazine list and another behind the magnifying glass.
The “magazines” only shows communities that someone else on this instance has already subscribed to. So if you search there for something mainstream then chances are you’ll find it. But something niche from a small server, like theonion@midwest.social won’t show up as no one from here has subscribed to it before so kbin.social doesn’t know about it.
The magnifying glass search is the way to subscribe to a community that kbin doesn’t know about yet. If you put in theonion@midwest.social into the search (NB, no ! on the start, like lemmy does it) then you’ll be subscribed to it straight away and from then on it’ll show up in the Community List for everyone.
