I’m missing something.

I’ve been looking for a college football magazine. When I clicked “Magazines” on my Kbin home and entered football or cfb, nothing came up. Something comes up now, because I made one. But then I saw a link to a web page called “Lemmy Explorer” and when I search there, four or five CFB communities show up.

What’s the simplest path for finding communities or magazines based on a keyword and making sure I’m not missing anything?

Bonus question: How does subscription to a magazine affect content I see? So far, I have only tracked down subscribed material by having notifications turn on and following those links?

    Basically, look at kbin, and also look at lemmyverse.

    An instance only knows about communities someone has told it about, that is, searched for them in the @name@instan.ce format.

    Once the first person has done that, the instance then knows about that magazine/community, and it will show up in search in the future.
