Lemmy

Hopefully in future lemmy autotranslates links for us, but meanwhile I suggest the following method.

Let's say we want to link https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy

Write it like this

[c/asklemmy](/c/[email protected])

Which will result in the following link:

c/asklemmy

This will make sure that the user clicking the link gets taken not to the original instance of the community, but to the community's reflection in user's instance where they can subscribe.

EDIT: Unfortunately this link type is currently crashing Jerboa. Hopefully that gets fixed in future.

EDIT2: For small communities it is recommended to append instance in the title, especially if a huge community with the same title already exist on another instance. Like this:

[c/[email protected]](/c/[email protected])

c/[email protected]

EDIT: Caviat - these links will work only if the community is already cached in the user's instance. If the user is first to subscribe, they'll have to get to it manually.
