Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

If you click the "News" and "My User" links above, they open content from beehaw.org and reckless.dev inside whatever Lemmy server you're curerntly using. Your account is on lemmy.world, so I'm assuming that's where you're browsing. Note the first URL becomes
https://lemmy.world/c/news@beehaw.org.Now view this post on beehaw.org and look at News link. It's
https://beehaw.org/c/news@beehaw.orginstead.This post is about how to format links to communities and accounts so they're transformed that way.
Yes but I need to search where that community is first and then what the search is correct? For example maybe there is a r/rance community, maybe it's on the French language website, I don't know. I have to search on the German search bar first to find the result, then go to where the community is and find that search thing.
If you're trying to find communities, you'd use the communities page or search function. You can filter both to only local (on this server) or all (any server this one hasn't blocked).
The settings page lets you select which languages you see. I think posts and communities that are set to a language you haven't selected aren't shown, so if you have Undetermined, German, and English selected, a post or community that's marked as being in French is hidden. That could be a little confusing I suppose - maybe the language filter should be disabled by default.
