How to subscribe to magazines on a different instance.

Another user posted this in a thread with his blessing I am sharing it as it helps for people new to the fediverse

You go and browse the instance you want first. You don't have to create an account there, you can view everything, just can't post of comment without an account obviously.

Then, you look at the name of the community you want, in the form of /!something/ or it could be /@lemmy.world/ too.

You come back to kbin and type or paste that into the search bar without the exclamation mark but with an @ sign instead. so /!something/ sould be typed as /@something/ into kbin's search bar. The option to subscribe will appear in the search result.

You can use the same technique on mastodon to subscribe to kbin and lemmy accounts (and communities because technically they are accounts too). Just type or paste the /@something/ into the mastodon search bar.

Hey, thanks for this! I'd just like to add, for new users who may have still been confused by this from other fediverse sites (though it was super helpful and got me set on the right path!) If it's something from beehaw.org, such as

https://beehaw.org/c/hardware@lemmy.ml

then it's simply removing the

https://beehaw.org/c/

and replacing that with the @ like you mentioned!
