I am going to try and post this from lemmy.ca

If it works, I guess I've answered my own question.

Can you tell me why !mls@lemmy.world doesn't show up when I do a magazine search on kbin.social?

[–] cjerrington@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

kbin uses the @username style. So replace the ! with @ and search again. Same for usernames and communities/magazines

@AndILearnedSomething Are you sure mls is on lemmy.world? I only see a mls@lemmy.ml community.

I went to lemmy.world and searched for the mls local community and I don't see it there.
https://lemmy.world/c/mls <-- doesn't work

Either way, you have the right idea, you put the community name after https://kbin.social/m/ , except without the !.

However when I tried https://kbin.social/m/mls@lemmy.ml it still didn't work while other communities like https://kbin.social/m/memes@lemmy.ml work. So I don't have a solid answer for you for why its not showing up in kbin. Perhaps someone else who's an expert can chime in. My hunch is that there's some slowness where kbin has not noticed there is a new mls community on lemmy.ml because of all the new people joining and its causing hiccups

I think whoever created that community screwed up the naming:
https://lemmy.world/c/mls@lemmy.world

It SHOULD be lemmy.world/c/mls, but the real address is /c/mls@lemmy.world

I'm betting kbin can't parse /m/mls@lemmy.world@lemmy.world
