I took a quick look while it was up and it was just a user guide, similar to the lemmymigration subreddit

    Since it is part of the federation, though, Lemmy users can subscribe to kbin communities (called magazines) and vice versa.

    How does one do that?

      It’s bugging out right now, probably because of the massive amount of traffic, but once things calm down you should be able to search for a magazine by full URL (https://kbin.social/m/gaming, for example) in communities, switch all search settings to “All”, wait for your instance to pull in the magazine and click through to the federated URL (should look like https://lemmy.world/c/gaming@kbin.social, assuming you’re on lemmy.world)

      Basically, just like adding a community nobody else on your instance has added before.

        You actually have to do a weird little ritual ATM. You search it by URL (HTTP like you did or like !gaming@kbin.social, I’m not clear on which), it will return nothing, and then you leave the page and come back a few minutes later. After that you can just search it normally.

        Unfortunately kbin.social specifically is having a federation problem right now.
