positive experience with /kbin automatically bringing in older comments and posts to newly subscribed community
If anyone votes on an old comment from the source instance, your newly subscribed kbin instance will grab the older message when the new vote comes in. Works with both Lemmy and kbin sources.
If the comment voted on is a reply to a reply, it will load in all the parent comments as well.
If you have a login on the other instance, you can vote and unvote and it will still populate your kbin comments.
You're viewing a single thread.
Do you know of any way to "force update" threads without having another account? Can you do something similar to force searching communities?
Can you reword your second question? 'force searching communities' - not sure why you would want to force or automate a search.
So when a community isn't in kbin yet you can search @[community name]@[instance] to create it. I was asking if a similar thing is possible with threads.
Yea that works for single posts, use the fediverse icon on the remote server for the proper url to search.
You don't get the reply's but you can search like that on a single reply too.What's the "Fediverse icon"?
For lemmy it's the rainbow coloured hexagon on a post or comment.
For some reason I can only see the icon next to comments but just pasting the top link works for posts.
yes, if that icon is missing you can just use the url.
Then just try the url itself.
Do you have an example of what you want to pull in?
