I’ve got a lemmy account elsewhere in the fediverse, and I have found this tool for finding instances and communities: https://lemmyverse.net/

I only just discovered though that it doesn’t work with any kbin sites, it just doesn’t list them at all. Is there any good way to browse different kbin magazines like this?

Ideally I want to be able to easily search by keyword and by instance. I love that this part of the fediverse is expanding, it just seems to me that it needs a good content discovery method.

      Thanks, I am aware that’s an option, the only problem with it is if you go looking for magazines on other instances, you can’t both browse all magazines and also easily subscribe to them as you go. Using the search tool you get links tailored to your home instance.

        I’m a little confused what your issue is with the default search? You can just “subscribe” to them, regardless if they’re native on kbin.social or another instance.

          The kbin.social search will only show magazines already federated into kbin.social, and won’t show magazines and communities elsewhere in the fediverse that you can subscribe to. You have to find those elsewhere and then bring them into kbin.social (or whichever instance you are a member of) using the search functionality.
