Canary Cage - Lemmy.World
lemmy.world
It’s too late for society. Save yourself. You must survive. Self-initiation is the optimal path ATM. Ultimately this community is a space for leftist refugees to revel in their shared apocalyptic gnosis. To dance around the campfire under a full moon at the end of history. Be brave. Be wise.

Here is what I think is the correct link - Link Text

If I am not getting this correct, please let me know so I can change the link. I am new to Lemmy.World, so please be patient with me.

      Honestly, the bang syntax for home-instance-agnostic community links isn’t very obvious to new users. It’s not a piece of standard Markdown syntax, either, so it’s not like someone can use knowledge from Reddit or elsewhere.

        And the standard web interface, from what I see, does not display it, or have a copy community link button.

          Further complicating this, the Threadiverse also has “display names” for communities — something which I think is probably a mistake — and one has to know how to get the actual name for the bang-syntax link. For example, the display name here is “New Communities”, but the actual community name is “newcommunities”.

          I’d like standard bang syntax to be able to link to a post and comment as well in a home-instance-agnostic fashion. That doesn’t exist today, and we can’t really do it today without Mbin, Lemmy, and PieFed adding support.

        Honestly, I was thinking post-approval by mods would be the best solution, for just that reason. Its why I led with the question about the existance of mods. Obviously too much work if its just the single mod who started the community.

      My apologies. I am new to this technology. What is the URL I should update the link to? I am happy to correct the mistake.

      I updated the description of my post with what I think is the correct link format. Thank you for the suggestion.

        No skin off my back. Sorry, I honestly wasn’t meaning to call you out personally, beyond maybe, hey, this is how to do this next time.

        I may just look into whether I can set this community to ding my notifications for new posts … apparently that’s not a thing in the webUI.
