Agreed. It still is a pain to follow subs on other instances, especially within Jeroba. I know you're supposed to copy the !sub@instance into the search field, but it never comes up.
Kbin doesn't presently auto-hyperlink the !sub@instance text.
I expect that it will in the future.
It will in the next update. See https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/317
For Lemmy, if nobody is subscribed to that community on your instance you have to copy the entire URL. E.g. you need to search for
https://instance.social/c/subin order to find !sub@instance.social.Once one person on your instance searches for it, then you can find it by searching !sub@instance.social.
I don't know why Lemmy works like that. Kbin doesn't have the problem; you can find things by searching
@sub@instance.socialno matter what.You don't need to do that if that community is already federating with your instance. If its not, it might take a little while for the federation to actually start after you make the search (based on the server infrastructure of your instance and the remaining queue). Try searching again after a bit and it should be there. These quriks should be solved as instances become more stable, and Lemmy/kbin gets further developed.
