Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !battlestations@lemmy.world

It's available for me on kbin.social as of this writing, and I subscribed.
As far as I can tell, what one needs to do on kbin is search for communityname@instance. I don't think that "!" goes in the search string.
But that's already run by now.
For people on kbin.social, you should be able to see it at:
https://kbin.social/m/battlestations@lemmy.world
If you're on another kbin instance, do the above search. I'm still a little fuzzy about the right syntax in a comment to produce a link to perform such an initial search in a cross-lemmy/kbin, cross-instance fashion. I think that it should be:
!@battlestations@lemmy.world
Giving the following:
That generated link does work for me on kbin.social, but I could be wrong about it working elsewhere.
I really wish that this particular issue would be made clear, as it's important for community discoverability.
EDIT: Nope, generated link does not work on lemmy.world, so doesn't work on lemmy, at least.
EDIT2: On fedia.io, another kbin instance, the link also doesn't work, so someone on the instance may need to have already subscribed for the link to be auto-generated. The ability to have a link format that directs to one's local instance in a way that works on all lemmy and kbin instances, regardless of whether anyone has subscribed, would be really nice.
EDIT3: Trying:
[battlestations@lemmy.world](/search?q=battlestations%40lemmy.world)
Yields
Which works to generate a search on kbin.social.
It also appears to work on fedia.io, so this is probably the right way to do a link, at least for kbin users.
EDIT4: It also appears to work for lemmy instances! This should probably be the new syntax used on newcommunities@lemmy.world to link to a community!
