For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don't regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.

How does that work when two instances can have communities/magazines with the same name?

And that still wouldn't directly let me subscribe since it takes me to sh.itjust.works when I'm on Kbin. I'm also using the PWA but I imagine I'll switch back to straight browser.

How does that work when two instances can have communities/magazines with the same name?

Because the two communities are on different servers. !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works is on the sh.itjust.works instance/server (https://sh.itjust.works/c/noncredibledefense) and !noncredibledefense@lemmy.world, as an example, would be on lemmy.world (https://lemmy.world/c/noncredibledefense). They're both different communities/subreddits with different mods/admins.

While this can be a little confusing at first, after a while 1 or 2 similar communities will became the mainstream ones where most traffic will go while the others will be way smaller and a little more niche.

Sorry that the link doesn't work for you. Kbin is a different platform and I have no experience with it.

All I see for both of those is "!noncredibledefense" and yet they go to different servers.

What are you actually typing? I'm assuming the markdown is changing it.

Each !noncredibledefense is followed by an @, then the name of the instance. The first is @ then sh.itjust.works, the second is @ then lemmy.world. All one word, similar to an email address.

Here’s a screenshot of what they’re typing, my app doesn’t “hide” it like your viewing platform does it appears:

Yup. Kbin hides the instance name.

The @ points your browser to the community on the right instance. As for the link taking you to the base instance while on kbin, it's because kbin uses /m/ instead of /c/ as a separator like Lemmy. So for you to visit that NCD from kbin, the link would be https://kbin.social/m/noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works. Also it looks like kbin is still having problems receiving updates from lemmy and vice versa.
