How do I subscribe to/find a non-kbin community?

I hope it's ok to ask questions here...

So, here's a thread: https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world/t/48054/Skeptic-A-community-for-critical-takes-on-pseudoscience-quackery-and

In that thread, there's a link to a lemmy community (!skeptic@lemmy.world) if I click that link, it takes me to the lemmy.world website.

How can I find and subscribe to that community from within kbin?

I tried going to kbin.social/m/!skeptic@lemmy.world but that doesn't work. Searching for skeptic results in a bunch of posts and comments.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I just figured it out. The correct formatting is
kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world

Still, is there a way to filter search results to only show communities?

Replace the ! with an @ and search with the search bar.
@skeptic@lemmy.world

edit: added link as text was butchered in translation

Thank you. Your link is all messed up for me though, it shows as: https://kbin.social/m/quickstart/t/51597/www.kbin.com/m/@skeptic@lemmy.world

I've no idea what's going on, but I got what you meant. Cheers.

Yeah I'm not sure what the link issue is I'm trying to figure it out myself as that is not the link I have entered. The link should be without quotes "kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world" see the attached screenshot. Not sure why the link is being translated from what it is entered as.

Trying something:
[@skeptic@lemmy.world](kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world)
@skeptic@lemmy.world

[@skeptic@lemmy.world](http://kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world)
@skeptic@lemmy.world

[@skeptic@lemmy.world](https://kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world)
@skeptic@lemmy.world

edit: I guess you need to add protocol at the front for the link

What is happening!? Both of your last links work ONLY IF I open them in a new tab (middle click). If I click on them directly they do not work and go to (https://kbin.social/u/)

Testing: @skeptic

This is so weird.

Simply typing "(at)skeptic(at)lemmy.world" turns it into a link that seems to be correct, pointing to (https://kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world) - see above

HOWEVER, if I click directly on the link, for some reason it takes me to a user profile that doesn't exist (https://kbin.social/u/@skeptic@lemmy.world)

BUT if I middle click the link to open in a new tab, it correctly goes to (https://kbin.social/m/skeptic@lemmy.world)

I have no idea what is happening or where to report this behaviour.
