@kbin.cafeAdded the games, skipped the communities that are specifically about your mods for games. That feels a lot more self-promotional.
I think you are right, considering there’s an issue on Codeberg directly referencing my post.
I can’t actually see the source of the OP of this chain on kbin.
I’m going to be honest, I have no idea why this is happening. I never thought I would be the idiot who would have to have other users reformat their unusable links and I’m upset that I am apparently that idiot and I’m incredibly frustrated by it. I thought !communityName@instanceName
and @communityName@instanceName
were supposed to work across the Fediverse so I didn’t have to resort to [text I want to display](URL)
every time I wanted to share a community, I guess not. I cannot grasp why some of these are not working for people and are sending everyone to a kbin.cafe search link, even if they’re from Lemmy. Especially since when I used @communityName@instanceName
on a different post, I was told by a Lemmy user that !communityName@instanceName
was instance-agnostic and would let you access the community through your own instance. Not through mine (kbin.cafe). And that I shouldn’t use @communityName@instanceName
because it would send everyone straight to that instance, where if it isn’t also your instance you’re probably not logged in so interacting would be inconvenient.
I wanted to make a helpful resource, not something people have to spend time fixing because it doesn’t work and I’m very upset that 1) it had to be fixed for me and 2) I can’t understand how to fix it myself. Apparently @communityName@instanceName
should be equivalent to [text I want to display](URL)
but given that listening to that Lemmy user didn’t work out for my current links I have no idea if swapping the !
for @
would actually work. Plus even if it did, interacting from your own instance would be inconvenient.
I did use the Lemmy style.
I was told to use
!community@instance
… so that's what I'm using here
This is also what constantly pops up in Lemmy sidebars.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance:
!communityName@instanceName
Unless you mean that the Lemmy style is just !community
, you don’t type @instanceName
after it. Did you mean that?
I was under the impression the way I typed the links would work for everyone. I suppose I was taught incorrectly and I’m extremely frustrated by it. I don’t want to be the village idiot trying to help only to require everyone fix their mistakes for them but it seems that’s what I am right now.
