How do I search for magazines and/or communities now?
Seems like something on KBin changed from the day I first signed up to today. I distinctly remember at the top where it says:
kbin /m/AskKbin Threads(#) Microblog(#) People
There used to be another option for "Magazines" in which it was a search engine for magazines here and on Lemmy. That's how I set up an initial assortment of topics I was following.
It's no longer there. If I do a search for say "emacs" it's pulling up ActivityPub mentions of emacs in posts, but not actual communities.
Am I crazy and I imagined it, or is it something that was up there, but disappeared. Maybe I accidentally selected something that turned it off!
In the interim, if I'm looking for a topic, what's the best way to find a magazine about it? In this particular case I was trying to find the Lemmy Emacs community, but honestly in the end I just prayed and used /m/[email protected] and that worked and I subscribed. But it'd be nice to have a less hail Mary method. Thanks!
You're viewing a single thread.
If you have your top bar enabled rhe button disappears. Instead there is a button labeled: "all magazines" on the end in the top bar.
Ah, I missed that one when I was looking at the settings. That's what I get for trying to solve a problem early in the morning, lol. I'm not OP, but thanks for solving that mystery.
No problem, had this problem myself until I realised that XD
Holy crap, thank you. I was thinking of the top bar as the shortcuts on Reddit (or Reddit Enhancement Suite) and I turned it on. I have no idea why it would remove the search capability for Magazines since it's functionally impossible to actually show everything on that line. However, we're in a new world now. So glad you figured that out. This is the way.
