You should know this because finding communities on lemmy can be tough.
Rule 2: make sure the body of your post contains Why YSK: and an explanation of why you should know.
And (at the moment, at least) we can edit the post title and body. So it is fixable. 👍
It’s hiding kbin magazines. There should be no difference between kbin magazines and lemmy communities when searching and exploring.
And they could fix this if they wanted to.
Just wanted to drop this version here in case you weren’t seeing any Kbin magazines on there- https://lemmyverse.net/kbin/magazines?order=followers
There’s a toggle in the upper right menu to show Kbin magazines c:
If you mean some are missing though, apologies for the misunderstanding!It’s possible, but there is no reason at all to have the kbin magazines separate from the communities.
They all federate the same, so why not list them all the same.Because Kbin and Lemmy aren’t the same thing. Kbin works with Lemmy, but it also works with other federated platforms, as well, such as Mastodon.
I’m guessing that the differences in the way Kbin works probably makes it difficult to include in the normal list.
For communities they both work the same, hey we’re talking here right?
I think it can be beneficial for when people are interested in finding communities that originate from one or the other, though I do agree that a more inclusive search would be beneficial and make it easier to find spaces
That would be a good argument for a filter instead.
Yeah. I’m sure navigation will become easier on there in the not-too-distant future. There’s just some growing pains to push through for a great many things all over right now, and that’s alright
There is a page in the menu for browsing Kbin magazines, but I agree. It would be better to have both on one page.

For readability purposes, can you add “Why YSK:” and include the reason for this post in accordance to rule 2?
Because… ?
I’m still learning how2lemmy
Because if nobody on your instance has ever subscribed to a certain community on a different instance - it won’t show up in search results on your instance.
lemmyverse allows for you to search for any community in any instance, even ones that your instance hasn’t federated with yet. You can then search the community link in your home instance and then subscribe to that community, which will cause your instance to federate with it from them on.
I dont get why a third party site can see more of the fediverse than the fediverse can.
Same here. I understand the whole notion of how an instance is able to “see” communities on another instance on the fediverse. But I don’t get what these kinds of website do differently to see all communities on all instances and why instances can’t do that directly.
It sees the same information, just aggregates it differently I guess.
Bookmarked. 🙏
And to add, if you want more directly to see the data on activity of the instances and communities, switch the view to “List” from the default “Grid”
Thank you!
Cheers. Great little site
How do I use it? Do I search for the community in-app once I see it there?
