Where's the magnifying glass? I'm very new here and all of this is pretty confusing. Can I get an ELI5? I was able to sign up and I'm not using the Jerboa app on Android and I don't see a magnifying glass anywhere.
You should see it on the top right on the page, i take a screenshot if that doesn't help
New and also very inexperienced- I tried searching for !totk@lemmy.ml but am getting no results. Can someone explain to me like I’m an idiot 😂
What you want to do is search for
@totk@lemmy.ml, basically just replacing the exclamation mark (!) for the @ symbol.Why? Because kbin uses the @ symbol and Lemmy uses the ! symbol for the communities.
Edit: I'm working in an extension for chrome and firefox it will basically convert the lemmy format
[!communityname@instance.domain](/c/communityname@instance.domain)to the kbin format so you just need to click on it.I'm not currently using kbin but this is awesome
Did the same for !sysadmin@lemmy.ml and a few others. This fediverse thing is kinda harder than it needs to be.
