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:

!community@instance.com

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.

    I just tried to click on a couple links formatted in various ways from a “jerboa for lemmy” app and it redirected to a browser (where I am not logged in).

    Is there a format friendly to the app, or is there a app config that needs to be updated?

      I’ve been running into this issue as well(also on jerboa). It seemed as though I needed to create a new account attached to the instance I was linking to in order to subscribe to the community. I don’t want to have to juggle between 3 or 4 accounts to browse the communities I’m interested

      I have never used the Jerboa app so take this all with a grain of salt, since it may be different than the website. The link with the [link text](/c/community@instance.com) should only work if the community is already linked with your instance, the two other formats can be put in the search bar, and after the instance fetches it, it should show up, but not sure how this all works on the app version though

        [link text](/c/community@instance.com)

        Crashes jerboa

        [!community@instance](instance/c/community)

        Opens the community in a new browser where you are not logged in

        !community@instance

        Does not work, thinks it is an email address and prompts to open in your email app

        The problem is jerboa, I believe it is being looked into by the devs
