We all know that lemmy.world is the most popular instance, but how does it compare to kbin.social? Which do you think will be more popular in the long run?

Uhm, hi? 😁

There are occasional issues depending on traffic but in my experience it generally works pretty well. Keep in mind that kbin has a slightly different syntax for adding completely new communities that nobody has subscribed to yet, it's not !x@y but rather @x@y and it only works in search, not all communities, tab.

Still no. Search on kbin @lemmyworldcommunity@Lemmy.world

Yields empty result

There is no community called "lemmyworldcommunity" on lemmy.world (upper or lower case also matters) so i cant check your example but in other cases it works fine for me

Weird. I was only trying the mobile website without a kbin account. Another example :/

Maybe one just needs a kbin account to view the search results?

As I mentioned before you should go to actual search page (https://kbin.social/search), not the magazine/community search (https://kbin.social/magazines). Then it should find everything.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature but that's how it works for now ¯\(ツ)
