For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don't regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.

Just a little tip: If you use a browser (PC or mobile), you can simply write [email protected] and it will automatically convert the link so that people directly can subscribe regardless on which server they are.

How does that work when two instances can have communities/magazines with the same name?

And that still wouldn't directly let me subscribe since it takes me to sh.itjust.works when I'm on Kbin. I'm also using the PWA but I imagine I'll switch back to straight browser.

How does that work when two instances can have communities/magazines with the same name?

Because the two communities are on different servers. [email protected] is on the sh.itjust.works instance/server (https://sh.itjust.works/c/noncredibledefense) and [email protected], as an example, would be on lemmy.world (https://lemmy.world/c/noncredibledefense). They're both different communities/subreddits with different mods/admins.

While this can be a little confusing at first, after a while 1 or 2 similar communities will became the mainstream ones where most traffic will go while the others will be way smaller and a little more niche.

Sorry that the link doesn't work for you. Kbin is a different platform and I have no experience with it.

All I see for both of those is "!noncredibledefense" and yet they go to different servers.

What are you actually typing? I'm assuming the markdown is changing it.

Here’s a screenshot of what they’re typing, my app doesn’t “hide” it like your viewing platform does it appears:

Yup. Kbin hides the instance name.

The @ points your browser to the community on the right instance. As for the link taking you to the base instance while on kbin, it's because kbin uses /m/ instead of /c/ as a separator like Lemmy. So for you to visit that NCD from kbin, the link would be https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]. Also it looks like kbin is still having problems receiving updates from lemmy and vice versa.
