How do you subscribe to a kbin.social community? None of the links seem to keep me in Lemmy.

You can take the community and server name and format it like this: https://lemmy.world/c/TheyDidTheMath@kbin.social

But kbin is more than just posts - it also federates Mastadon which I don't think Lemmy can process (so you won't see those).

(I'm still working all this out myself -- in fact, this is my first ever comment!)

If you can see this, you're federating with Mastodon as I'm replying with my Mastodon account!

Comments are ok, but I think if kbin has microblog posts from Mastodon, they don't appear in Lemmy. I'm in two minds as to which interface I prefer - nows really the time to pick one before I subscribe to too many things! :)

Rules

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it's important to have a foundation to work on.

1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world's rules, which can be found here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
