You should be using [email protected] type links instead of direct URLs. If I click, it kicks me out of my app to where I can’t subscribe as I’m not logged in to that server.
Using !community notation is a Lemmy-only thing. Not everybody is reading this from Lemmy, and this particular community and the OP are both on /kbin. Providing direct URLs is a more generally useful way of linking to communities in the fediverse.
@trynn Just looking again it does now seem to work on Kbin. I'll do a bit more testing and maybe edit the list if it works.
@Tygr
It works from a Lemmy instance to see a /kbin magazine. It does not work the other way (from /kbin to see a Lemmy community).
I'm pretty new to this, myself. So do I just go, for example, !240sx ?
EDIT: Apparently not. It doesn't seem to be linking to the local magazine. I tried to use
[[email protected]](/c/[email protected]).@Tygr @herpderpedia Kbin does not support
!communitylinks just yet, but it's in the works on some level. Linking to Lemmy communities from here can't really be done without the full URL, which does mean one would have to provide two links - one that works on Kbin, and one that points to the original instance.In related news, linking to Kbin magazines is currently a bit borked as well, because the only other syntax that works (@magname) is assumed to refer to a user account and not a magazine.
So for instance. If I’m on Lemmy how do I add the 3d printing community?
@Chickenlambchops does the link work now?
What you put, [email protected] should work if you don’t end it with a period?
Edit: There also appears to be a [email protected] as well based on my quick search.
There's not a period at the end. That's outside of the inline markdown to end my sentence.
Also yes there is. That's my community on Lemmy as @herpderpedia. Although the owner isn't right when I go to it on Kbin.
@Tygr Thanks for the tip! Edited.
