    ITT: people who don’t know how federated links work. I’m not joining your instance or searching your recommendation on my own.

    edit: looks like even ! links aren’t standardised. What an absolute shit show.

        sounds like a sync issue. federated links don’t direct you away from your instance so you can actually interact with the communities being linked to no matter what activity pub software you’re using.

        Lemmy users have a bad habit of using local links which are next to useless unless you’re on the same instance.

          Shouldn’t the ‘@’ at the start of those be ‘!’ instead? I thought ‘@’ was for users and ‘!’ for Communities

            ! is a lemmy thing and sends you to the original url, @ is a fediverse thing and sends you to the linked community on your own instance so you can actually interact with it.

        first time I’ve ever, and I mean ever, seen ! not link off site.

        in fact this thread is a total shit show of apps implementing it differently.

        if @ isn’t working for everyone I’ll stop using it because it actually working was the whole point.

        @ doesn’t even link on lemmy, that’s funny. and single return doesn’t format correctly, what is this reddit 2.0?
