Pretty much the title. It isn’t obvious how to follow magazines from here, if it’s possible at all.

Yes, you treat them like any other Lemmy community. For example: !photography@kbin.social

If it’s not coming up when you search, try entering the entire URL in the search box. This should make your instance’s software go fetch the community info. For example: kbin.social/m/photography

Note that some instances have recently been removing kbin communities due to software bugs. Hopefully that gets resolved soon.

  Good note on the instances removing kbin communities (is this defederation?), my instance in Sync for Lemmy is showing up as a website and not a normal federated community.

    It isn’t complete defederation. In the example I linked from lemmy.world, kbin users can still see and comment on lemmy.world posts. But lemmy.world has made some kbin communities unavailable to lemmy.world users. The issue is a bug in kbin: when a kbin mod removes a post, that removal action isn’t federated to Lemmy instances so the post remains visible to Lemmy users. That loophole is ripe for abuse.

It is possible. I’m following a mud community over on kbin. If I remember right, you follow by putting it’s url into the search. Should pop up.

I browse Lemmy from my phone with Sync for Lemmy. It shows me every federated instance in one scrolling feed, including kbin.
