The links like !NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world.
I have had a pretty bad time making those work. I have tried searching for them at the communities page, and removing the exclamation mark and pasting them on my instance (lemmy.world/c/NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world).
Some times one of those works, other times my instance finds nothing. And if I go directly to the home instance of the community, it doesn’t bring my login.
What is the recommended way to use those?
Does this work? (if yes, I used the link markdown thingy).
No. This is what I’m seeing your link as:
https://lemmy.world/post/lemmy.world/c/NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.worldFirst, /post doesn’t work. The FQDN is:
https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.worldHowever, that will always take you to the lemmy.world website, which if you are a user of lemmy.one (for example) you don’t want - you won’t be able to comment or post there. If you use a relative path:
/c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.worldIt tells the browser to go to that location on whatever server you are currently on. As noted elsewhere, this doesn’t work on kbin because they chose to use /m instead of /c. I expect that one or both of Lemmy & Kbin will automatically convert URLs in the future, and will ultimately support the
!nostupidquestions@lemmy.worldform.edit: Note that the “@lemmy.world” is optional when you are on lemmy.world, but it is the part that will get you to the right place if you use the link on another instance.
