Edit: with Mintyytea's help, I figured out how to do it:

  1. Go to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world
  2. Use the plus (+) button in the upper right of the kbin UI to add the article

I believe one of the Lemmy instances has a "newcommunities" forum, but I'm not sure if kbin has something similar

Thanks

I advertised my kbin magazine on that lemmy community you mentioned :) I’m subscribed to it too. Most of the forums im subscribed to are from lemmy but it’s fine

That's great, but I haven't figured out how to do that in the UI. Tried Create New Article, even while subscribed to newcommunities@lemmy.world and it won't populate the community dropdown

Are you going to the community and then clicking create new article? Maybe post a screenshot of the issue you run into

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

Thank you. Your comment helped me figure it out. In kbin you have to use the upper right + (plus) button to do it. And then the community dropdown fills in properly.

I only see disadvantages in doing that separately. What's wrong with posting it over there?

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

I suppose that's an idea. I'm still not fully used to federation, neither on the technical level nor the social norm level (and maybe we're all figuring that out as we go)

[–] FrostBolt@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hmmm. I'm actually not seeing a way to do that without creating a new account over there. 🤔

You interact with communities/magazines on other instances from your home instance, so for that lemmy community, you'd go to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world or search for it from https://kbin.social/magazines

Strange - I tried going to https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world and even subscribing but I still can't add a post

[–] ninjirate@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It looks like I can create a new post just fine. What are you seeing when you hit the add button?

[–] FrostBolt@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn't want to autocomplete the community name; see image:

I think there ought to be a newmagazines@kbin.social. I'd then link to it from my instance. Does anyone want to create it?
