I’m new to Kbin, and I can’t find where to browse communities (whether located on Kbin or, more usefully, across the Fediverse).
I also joined a Lemmy instance, and there it is straightforward:
https://feddit.uk/communities/listing_type/All/page/1
That link lets me scroll through all the communities, or search.
I do see the magnifying glass, so I can search for communities. But I don’t see a way to browse communities.
I like other things about the Kbin layout and feel, so I’d like to try to stay here. But so far it doesn’t seem easy to browse the Fediverse communities here.
(Also, I was trying to add a POST, but I don’t know how to do that. Just switched me over to MICROBLOG. This is not very straightforward.)
Keep in mind that “all” is not actually “all of the entire fediverse”. It’s “all federated with this instance”. A server will only federate communities that at least one users has specifically subscribed to.
If you know the exact name and instance of a community, you can add it to the communities that your server is federated with by entering it in the
!name@instan.ceformat in search, or@name@instan.ceon kbin, and subscribing. This will cause that community/magazine to push its content to your instance, and make it discoverable for others on it.For finding whats available, consider starting threads on big communities asking what others have found. I started a very successful one on here: https://lemmy.world/post/294805
There are also some external crawlers like: https://lemmyverse.net/
