I was under the impression that, due to the nature of ActivityPub, that Lemmy and Kbin are interoperable. I’ve been trying all day to sub to something a fedia.io. I can see it on the list of federated instances here but the search always comes up “no result”.

I’m able to subscribe to other communities at other Lemmy instances (with some patience).

Is there a difference syntax I should be using?

Thanks

    I search for the entire URL of the community including https. Sometimes you still have to search twice but it seems to find them way faster when using the full URL.

      That is at least not giving me “no result”, which implies it’s trying. I’ve found I need a lot of patience when I’m trying to add federated content that’s new to this server. I’m assuming it’s due to the influx of users and will settle out over time.
