How do you make the /c/community a link?
How do you make the /c/community a link?
I tried doing /c/community just like in reddit but it won't turn into a link. Is it some missing feature or am I missing something?
You need to type it with an exclamation mark in front. Lemmy will then provide you a dropdown of it's communities, and upon selection convert it into a markdown link:
!fediverse becomes [[email protected]](https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse)
which is shown as a link like this [email protected]
16 0 ReplyOne thing I love with Lemmy is that new comments popup while I'm writing a reply. Saved me from posting a duplicate answer right now.
14 0 ReplyYes ! I can't believe Reddit never added this feature years ago... like features that were in RES. Oh well, too late now.

that's so convenient, thanks a lot!
2 0 ReplyIs there a way to make it so that if someone on lemmy.ml clicks the link, they go to lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] instead?
2 0 ReplyYep! You can do this with the format:
/c/<community>@lemmy.world
e.g.
[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
I've been seeing it used in a couple places, already, actually.

That's so cool! Where does the community list come from? Is the list of the communities I'm subscribed to?
1 0 ReplyShould be all the communities that your instance has discovered.

EDIT: Just add an exclamation mark. and lemmy should do the markdown thing automatically. If not, under this post, there is an option to "View Source". Click on that and check out what the link looks like.
