    How can one add social.bbc to my Lemmy subscribed list?

      Lemmy doesn’t do microblogging.

          How do you do that? I’ve tried and couldn’t get it to work.

        And this is why I use Kbin.

      You cannot follow the entire instance as such, rather the individual accounts on the instance - such as @BBCRD, @BBC_News_Labs, @Connected_Studio etc.

      Kbin users can subscribe to whatever content is shared from social.bbc on federated instances by subscribing to /d/social.bbc, but I’m not sure how much sense that makes. :)

      Edit: In Lemmy you’d find the users by entering for example /u/[email protected], but as @roguetrick pointed out Lemmy is not really made for microblogging.

      Unsure if you can follow entire instances but you can definitely follow users from that instance such as https://kbin.social/u/@[email protected]

      No expert, but I have a Mastodon account + app and a Lemmy account + app.
