That's what this does:
[Some text here](/c/community@instance.here)
Tap the 'more' skinny hamburger menu just ~~above~~ below this message to 'view source' of the below:
blah blah blah links to asklemmy@lemmy.ml
Actually..better, here is one for an instance that is neither yours or the one you posted into:
On my instance ( feddit.it ) I see two broken links:
both return 404: couldnt_find_post
Doh! I forgot the /c/, correcting.
Should these links work? I'm viewing this thread from Lemmy.ca and both give me a 404 error. When testing with jerboa, the app crashes
Both of those links send me back to this post on lemmy.ml, through kbin, so if that is the end goal, then it worked.
That's perfect! Thank you :)
I thought it worked if you just linked /c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
With the only caveat being that users on kbin will need /m/asklemmy.ml
I would normally test the crap out of these before posting since I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm on my phone and mostly busy at the moment. Sorry if it doesn't work.
Yes it would be very convenient, right now if Iβm recommending a community I simply write out the URL manually to make sure it routes via the respective userβs instance first.
Edit 6 Cleaning up post.
You can link the community as a whole, but posts you can't. Solutions to posts are being discussed on Github
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1048
This is how to link communities.
[My text here](/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml)
For example if you want cat@lemmy.world you would type this
[Cat pics on Lemmy.world](/c/cat@lemmy.world)
Equals
Or aww@lemmy.ml you would type this.
[Aww on Lemmy.ml](/c/aww@lemmy.ml)
Equals
You need to have the /c/ or it won't work. Don't put the ! or it won't work.
