Created this account so I could create the community. Decided on lemm.ee because my main account is on aussie.zone, which does not allow community creation (and limits its communities to things about Australia). Figured lemm.ee is better than lemmy.world due to the latter’s performance/federation issues.

    Mbin and others might have issues with Lemmy created links

    But shouldn’t the plain [email protected] be enough? Not sure about the link above, I’ve seen original lucifer post those before, never really investigated why

      the target community may not exist with a direct link as youve posted.

      when you push it through what seems to be a universal search url: /search?q=!community @ host . tld, it forces the remote host to create the community should it not already exist.

        Oh wow, I didn’t even realise you could do relative links like that in Lemmy.

        It’s a shame post IDs aren’t globally unique so you could do something like that with individual posts.

          As you can search for posts and find them in a similar way, that could actually work

            Yeah sort of, but it’s not quite as convenient as me being able to take lemm.ee/post/41243313 and change it to aussie.zone/post/41243313. Obviously, for that to work, the IDs would have to be non-sequential: probably the easiest/dumbest way to do it would be with UUIDs, which are pretty massive to use in a URL, so I don’t really blame the designers for doing it how they did. But it would be nice.

        Indeed, I’m just used to refresh if it’s the case, after the refresh the community is there. Interesting to see a link that does that on its own
