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!
