YSK how to correctly link to other Lemmy communities
YSK how to correctly link to other Lemmy communities
Why YSK: right now, Lemmy's autocomplete for the !community syntax isn't working correctly.
It will appear to work, like so:
But the link produced will redirect you away from your home instance and leave you unable to vote/subscribe...
To fix this issue, you'll need to manually edit the autocompleted link like so:
BAD LINK: [[email protected]](https://lemmy.world/c/youshouldknow)
⬇️⬇️⬇️ Remove the domain (i.e.: https://lemmy.world) & append the @ identifier (i.e.: @lemmy.world)
GOOD LINK: [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
Removing the domain like this transforms it into a local link which prevents the instance redirection. Doing this will make it easier for newcomers to join your community and participate in discussions!
Those interested can monitor Github issues #369 & #1048 for when this UI bug is fixed!

Thanks for providing the Github links!
Of course! Perhaps one of the greatest public goods to come out of FOSS is the public bug tracker. Not a "known issue" list, not a "ticket system", but rather a place where you can see work happening on your issue in realtime.
