What Lemmy .. Group do you follow ( still not sure how do you call them)

Lots already. Of course depends on what your interest are. For ex. my subs

@sneakyninjapants Great post, thanks for sharing!

If you format your links like this…

/c/[email protected]

the links will be clickable and the user can subscribe to them from their home instance.

Thanks, I don’t know the proper way of formatting yet as it seems to depend on who you ask. Early days still.

Edit: Getting a 404 error when following that link on my sh.itjust.works instance. Think this is part of the problem.

Sergey Kozharinov@lem.serkozh.me · 1 year ago

That is likely because you instance hasn’t pulled the information about the community.

For me the reliable way to make it do so is to type it into a search bar (in the format !community@instance), as the message in the sidebar of communities on other instances say. And then refresh the page, to see that it actually did that.

To make the link work,

I signed up for a profile on https://sh.itjust.works
I searched for the community on https://browse.feddit.de to get the link
I copied and pasted the link into the search field of https://sh.itjust.works
searched for Monero and the community now showed up

Had to do all that to make the link work. 🤦

@phloatingman Yeah I think something’s broken or mis-coded perhaps. Looking at things, I think the exclamation point needs to be removed from the final URL to work.

(IE: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] -> https://kbin.social /m/[email protected])

I think I might use Redirector to correct it internally in the interim

Oh so many communities. Most of them not on dbzer0.

Rhabuko@feddit.de · edit-2 1 year ago

Oh boy, here I go…

Edit: And just in case: You don’t have to make an extra account for those. Just search the community name either in your communit’s section in the browser (top left and don’t forget to select “all” to get everything) or search them in your app (On Android it’s on the bottom second icon from the left).

It’s called Communities, not groups :)

~/hyde@lazybear.social · 1 year ago

@Krafting never been interested in Reddit :)

Krafting@lemmy.world · 1 year ago

On reddit it’s called subreddits, on the fediverse (lemmy, kbin) it’s communities!
