Original post from r/ModCoord
For those of you browsing from lemmy.world here is how to access it and stay logged in:
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
if you do [email protected] it works with any instance
That’s the only one that works.
Its the proper way to tag a community!
! For communities
@ for users iirc
After a long scroll, finally found a comment with a proper link
If you drop the first half, the web version and most apps will open the community in your instance.
/c/[email protected]
404 not found.
This is going well!
Oh boy lol. Lemmys growing pains. Perhaps it’s because you’re using kbin? I don’t know, but I can confirm that the link I posted works great on Lemmy web and some android apps with proper link handling.
For kbin is /m/[email protected]
That’s not a url. You should try using the search option and put that in there instead.
It acts as a URL in most mobile apps and the website.
Ok, it acts like a URL, but it is not a URL. It does not have the proper URL prefix.
A 404 error is what you get with a bad URL.
You won’t get a 404 if you’re using the webapp, or on most mobile apps. For instance, I’m on Voyager and the subreddit link works fine upon clicking. No need to copy and paste it to the search.
I’m aware. I’m just repeating the error message they said they got, which was a 404.

Thanks! Kind of annoying that this is required just now, either there’s an easier way that I’m just too dumb to see - or I imagine this process will be made easier in future (hopefully near) :D
There’s a script that rewrites all fediverse links to point to your home instance:

It works well. On the rare occasion that I want to visit the original linked instance I just switch it off for a second and reload the page.
I imagine some sort of autocomplete feature could be made which provides a dropdown menu of communities and instances based on what you type after “/c/”.
It exists! It gets triggered when you start typing exclamation mark followed by a few characters. A long popup list appeared with communities your home instant knows of.
And this is with the stock web ui. If you’re using an app then it’s up to the developer of that app.
Why not trigger it when someone types “/c/”. Using an exclamation mark isn’t intuitive.
/c/ (and kbin’s /m/) is an implementation detail, the “real” community names all start with !
well, technically they’re just fancy user accounts which means they start with @, but that’s even more obscure an implementation detail, especially with lemmy allowing both a user and community to have the same name
