I started a new KBIN instance. It has one magazine, random, because I created it. Anyone coming here will find no interesting magazines. It will be boring.

How do I find interesting magazines on other instances? Say, I want to find a magazine about Linux, somewhere on another KBIN or Lemmy server and add it here. If I search in the magazine search, no magazines show up. If I search using the topmost global search, no magazines show up.

How does a new instance get the list of magazines that are available from the other KBIN and Lemmy instances without visiting each one and creating a list to use for a full name search?

Or is my instance just broken?

      Yep. I did what @Granite did. I went around to a number of other instances and manually entered the full magazine names that looked most used. I also looked at the list of subreddits that moved to their own KBIN and Lemmy instances, and connected to them
