On both you have to search for a magazine handle ([email protected]) if the magazine is not yet on the server. And not the magazine search but the regular search. It can of course be blocked by the instance, but most likely just nobody searched for it before. Most mbin instances are very small and even fedia only has like 4000 total users... Therefore not that many magazines/communities have been pulled in, yet...
Seems like you're right. I tried it before without the actual domain ending in the magazine search which didn't work. I wish behavior like this and other stuff would be documented somewhere? Like, I still don't know what's the best way to universally link to communities / magazines or users that would work across the fediverse so that they continue using whatever platform they're on.
Yeah our user documentarion could need some inprovements. Though I doubt a lot of users would actually look at it....
The best way to link communuties is with the [email protected] which works on lemmy and Mbin, but not on kbin (I think)
