On the desktop version of the site i can just put the name after m/ in the URL (sans !) and i can sub from there. but how do i do this from the pwa i use on my phone?
Try swapping the ! for an @
Does kbin standardly use “@magazinename@kbin.domain” instead of “!magazinename@kbin.domain”? (asking this as a Lemmy user)
That appears to be the case. I’m on my own instance of kbin, viewing it in a desktop browser. When I was searching for communities with ! and not finding anything, I at first assumed I’d set up my instance wrong and search wasn’t working at all. But then I noticed magazines on kbin.social labeled themselves as
@magazine@server, so I tried that for something and successfully added it to my instance.
You search for it. Replace the ! with a @ as well. I feel as though that instance isn’t federating properly though.
