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.

    So what is your community? What is its purpose? If you’re gonna post here, I highly recommend looking at the community rules and adding all the proper info.

    I love seeing people make new Lemmy communities. It’s even better when people spread the word in places like NewCommunities, but it doesn’t help you much if you’re missing all the info (and the proper link).

      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.
