We all know that lemmy.world is the most popular instance, but how does it compare to kbin.social? Which do you think will be more popular in the long run?

I've searched for Lemmy world communities on kbin and came up dry. There's a problem of communication between the sites.

I’ve had no issues before when using kbin and finding Lemmy communities but I’ve just tried again there to check and the search is not working for me either now.

Same here

Uhm, hi? 😁

There are occasional issues depending on traffic but in my experience it generally works pretty well. Keep in mind that kbin has a slightly different syntax for adding completely new communities that nobody has subscribed to yet, it's not !x@y but rather @x@y and it only works in search, not all communities, tab.

Weird. I was only trying the mobile website without a kbin account. Another example :/

Maybe one just needs a kbin account to view the search results?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

As I mentioned before you should go to actual search page (https://kbin.social/search), not the magazine/community search (https://kbin.social/magazines). Then it should find everything.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature but that's how it works for now ¯\(ツ)/¯

Still no. Search on kbin @lemmyworldcommunity@Lemmy.world

Yields empty result

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There is no community called "lemmyworldcommunity" on lemmy.world (upper or lower case also matters) so i cant check your example but in other cases it works fine for me
