Hello everyone. I am working on reviving the /c/battlestations community which I believe has a potential to be popular. 📺 🖥️
Feel free to stop by and share your setup.
Great news, I just resubscribed !
I’ll be contributing to the community!
Glad to be back
Yay! My spouse likes to look at pictures of homes she cant afford for inspiration or to daydream. That sub was pretty much that for me. Thanks for doing this.
It’s basically guy version of Pinterest lmao
I wonder how long federation to kbin will take.
Leaving a comment to remind me to look in a few hours so I can subscribe.Should be good to go soon. Someone needs to search for the community before it begins indexing. I just did that.
Thanks.
I had clicked on the ! Link. Does that trigger the search / index? Or is something else required?
It’s available for me on kbin.social as of this writing, and I subscribed.
As far as I can tell, what one needs to do on kbin is search for communityname@instance. I don’t think that “!” goes in the search string.
But that’s already run by now.
For people on kbin.social, you should be able to see it at:
https://kbin.social/m/battlestations@lemmy.world
If you’re on another kbin instance, do the above search. I’m still a little fuzzy about the right syntax in a comment to produce a link to perform such an initial search in a cross-lemmy/kbin, cross-instance fashion. I think that it should be:
!@battlestations@lemmy.worldGiving the following:
That generated link does work for me on kbin.social, but I could be wrong about it working elsewhere.
I really wish that this particular issue would be made clear, as it’s important for community discoverability.
EDIT: Nope, generated link does not work on lemmy.world, so doesn’t work on lemmy, at least.
EDIT2: On fedia.io, another kbin instance, the link also doesn’t work, so someone on the instance may need to have already subscribed for the link to be auto-generated. The ability to have a link format that directs to one’s local instance in a way that works on all lemmy and kbin instances, regardless of whether anyone has subscribed, would be really nice.
EDIT3: Trying:
[battlestations@lemmy.world](/search?q=battlestations%40lemmy.world)Yields
Which works to generate a search on kbin.social.
It also appears to work on fedia.io, so this is probably the right way to do a link, at least for kbin users.
EDIT4: It also appears to work for lemmy instances! This should probably be the new syntax used on newcommunities@lemmy.world to link to a community!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !battlestations@lemmy.world
Awesome! Thank you! Confused Kbin’er here.
