how do I link to my community in comments?
Hi all,
In reddit, I used to use /r/watercolor
How can I link to the 'watercolor' community here in lemmy?
Thank you
The syntax here is "[email protected]". For example [email protected]
So [email protected] ? (Testing here)
Edit, my system treats it like a mail link and wants to open my email client.
Or, do I need inverter commas?
Edit 2 : no, same issue
All the UI is doing is automatically making it a markdown link. You can do it yourself just by doing [[email protected]](https://sopuli.xyz/c/test_community)
Here it looks like the link is added when you make the comment, and the it is added directly to the formatting. I'm guessing you're using an app or some other client to access Lemmy? On reddit, it just recognises the "/r/" and places the link on the front end.
I'm brand new to lemmy, but I think it works similarly to Reddit except you have to use the full instance URL and a 'c' instead of 'r'.
So, if your watercolor community is hosted on lemmy.ml, you could comment lemmy.ml/c/watercolor and have a link into it.
thank you! I'll try here : lemmy.ml/c/watercolor Whilst not as easy as /r/ or /c/ I understand it is on a server, so it needs to point to that server.
