Alright so I hate to ask but how to do I subscribe to a community in another instance from within kbin? For example if I wanted posts from https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance to show up in kbin.social, how do I do it? If I paste https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance into the search bar all I see is a list of posts and comments relating to that. Same if I search for !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world.

What I expect to happen (which is what happens in lemmy instances) is that I am shown a top level link to the community/magazine/whatever and I can click into it and then click "subscribe" but that doesn't seem to be working for me in kbin.

Edit: alright never mind the searching does work. It doesn't show the community as obviously as I'd like it to but it is working now. Wasn't working before for some reason though.

@mmmbacon Try as [@maliciouscompliance](https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance) (leading @ instead of !) The ! seems to be Lemmy-specific; @ is traditional elsewhere.

Also I'm elsewhere (mastodon) so this is a test too.

Edit because there is no preview and it autolinked :( The name should be @ user @ location (@ dis @ facebook29.com no spaces)
