Formatted for easy navigation once your instance has upgraded to the current version. Clicking the link should take you to a version of the community linked from your instance. Feel free to comment with any broken links you know the answer to.
Incorrect link quoted above, use [email protected] for general discussion
[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
General Discussion is the display name, that wont work, actual name is [email protected]
The rest work, but lemmy community names never have capital letters. (Kbin mags can tho)
Yes but you can't edit other people's posts...
ah, my bad
Appreciate the correction, edited my first post to reflect this :)
I am aware, however the only change i made to @[email protected]'s comment was adding the exclamation point so it's linkable. I don't know all the communities they were referring to so I couldn't apply a fix
I can fix this also... brb!
Another tip, you can use lists to make stuff more compact without so much space between lines.
-and a space in front of each lineAnother great tip. When I originally posted each on a single line, they all got mashed together. Will use in future posts.
Two spaces at the end of a line
will prevent that from happening.
Blame markdown.
Thanks for the reformat, tho it looks like OP is here to edit.
Hey so I see thereβs a few different instances for TodayILearned, are they all considered unique? Like would it be /TodayILearned1 /TodayILearned2 and so on if they were on Reddit, separate communities? Or are community names unique throughout the fediverse?
They are considered unique communities although they could cover the same topic. It's a lot like an email address that way, you can have [email protected] and [email protected]. They are unique addresses, but they can have the same name before the at sign.
Something i would like to see in future development is some sort of multi-reddit type feature to combine multiple similar communities into one grouping
Interesting. Well Iβm rooting for federated services so we canβt have the rugs pulled out from under us again by large corporations.
They are separate communities each on a different server. You will encounter a bunch of duplicate communities on various servers for the big topics (news, technology, gaming, etc.)
For now at least. I would imagine in time the duplicates may converge into one or the other.
