How come I can't subscribe to something in the fediverse (Kbin) whole on Lemmy's instance? (lemmy.ml)

Try it, when I search [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) on the search bar, there are no results, but the community of https://kbin.social/m/functionalprint is very clearly there, and are both a part of the fediverse. What's going on?

Correct. A connection with just one isn't going to dump everything from that server to yours, only the content you picked.

Yup! But remember that Kbin is only 2 months old and a mass migration just started, it will be easier to find communities as your instance grows and users find their favourite communities within fediverse.

We are all "pioneers" in a way and paving the way. Even though Lemmy has existed for 4 years it didn't really have a big user base. Now it is growing rapidly everyday.
