What is the best way to link a Lemmy Community?
(sh.itjust.works)
Welcome to the official Lemmy.world Support community! Post your issues or questions about Lemmy.world here.
This community is for issues related to the Lemmy World instance only. For Lemmy software requests or bug reports, please go to the Lemmy github page.
This community is subject to the rules defined here for lemmy.world.
You can also DM https://lemmy.world/u/lwreport or email report@lemmy.world (PGP Supported) if you need to reach our directly to the admin team.
From what I've seen using the exclamation mark gives the best experience as the person clicking the link stays within their same instance, rather than going to the instance the community is hosted on. Also it looks like how you linked the community made the system think it's an email address so it doesn't work that way.
example: !support@lemmy.world
it fails ungracefully when the linked community isn't federated with the one the visitor is following the URL from
