"Forcing" magazine federation from other instances?
"Forcing" magazine federation from other instances?
Going straight to the point: I was wondering what is the criteria for kbin to pick federated magazines (number of subscribers maybe?) and if there is a way or workaround to pull/force them into the "All magazines" list.
For example, I am interested in https://feddit.it/c/teoriamusicale, which would translate into kbin's URL https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]. It has been created weeks ago and probably it hasn't been picked because of lack of content. I would like to contribute to it without having to create a feddit account (I'm quite attached to my kbin one).
I'm sure many of us here had/have the same issue - how did you work around it?
EDIT: and now it's there!... Miracles (or @ernest's kind intervention) :)
Anyway I think my point still stands, I guess.

Yup, I'm unsure how I'm supposed to subscribe to a remote magazine when it doesn't exist on kbin. But it does not exist because nobody subscribed?
🙃
It works based on search. Once at least one person searches for an off-instance mag using the exact name in the
@[email protected]format, and they subscribe, it should start getting federated.How long does that take? I just searched for @AmItheAsshole and am waiting for it to show up.
It can take a minute, depending on how loaded yours/that instance is. When it was slow I just left the search open in a tab for a bit and do something else, and it would appear by the time I'd be back.
Alas, one of the most overloaded out there - kbin.social
Been an hour and nothing yet.
Same here. https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] gives me a 404 page.
