Having an issue I hope someone can help with:
I created a magazine (https://kbin.social/m/Frenchies) but when I use the Kbin search at the top of the page, it does not appear? I’ve tried various search terms, but neither the magazine nor the post I made in it show up. I have 2 subscribers, but I think they came from direct links I posted in other’s comments.
Do I need to somehow make the magazine public? Or index-able? I added Tags in the tag section of the magazine. Hoping someone can help out, I really need my dog picture fix!
Currently it’s more work probably than it should be to do this, so for newer people, it’s recommended they stay on large instances like lemmy.world or kbin.social to have the communities searchable.
If you’re on a newer server, you can add the community you want.
Click Search (the site, not search for the community)
enter the whole url of the community you wanted - eg. https://kbin.social/m/Frenchies
Click enter and wait for a bit until it’s able to find the community and you can hit subscribe button.
It’s easy to do, but nothing on the UI helps you find the communities without extra knowledge, so if you’re newer, it’s a better experience to stay on the larger servers
