1. Can you find/interact with a kbin magazine from a lemmy instance (i.e lemmy.ml)? If so, how?
I have been able to find lemmy communities from kbin but not the other way around for some reason
2. How do “Reputation Points” work?
For some reason I’m sitting at -29 Reputation points and it appears to be mostly from someone who went and downvoted a bunch of my threads all at once in the @NFL magazine (for seemly no reason). Regardless though, most of the threads still have more upvotes than downvotes so should I not be in the positive?
I guess at the end of the day question 2 doesn’t really matter, but I’m just curious.

Yes you should be able to search !kbinmagazine@kbin.social from Lemmy. From kbin you use @ lemmysub @ lemmy.ml (no spaces)

Not certain about this. I have 15. But my numbers don’t add up. I’m sure things like points will change as this platform grows though
Thanks for the info! Is it possible that you need to be signed in to the lemmy instance for it to work? I tried !NFL@kbin.social from a couple of different instances a couple of times each and no results show up.
Where are you searching from?
Idk if search works if not signed in, have never tried it
I tried from lemmy.ml, lemmy.ca, and beehaw.org
Using app or web?
Web
On lemmy when you tap the hamburger menu the firs option is communities. There just search.!whatever@kbin.social
That’s exactly what I’ve been trying… Not sure why it’s not working for me

Also a third question… How do you properly link to a magazine? Cause apparently I don’t know how to do that either lol
What do you mean properly link a magazine? If you copy the URL is will bring you to that magazine.
I seem to be able to use
@magazinenamehere@kbin.social(what shows up under the magazine name in the sidebar) in some places (i.e in the sidebar of the NFL magazine) but I used the same format in the post above and it thinks from trying to link to a user called NFL rather than the magazine.I guess I just thought tags/@'s should be used wherever possible but I can definitely just use the URL as I normally would on other sites.
