For example, I was told to search for [email protected] from Lemmy.world in order for Lemmy to fetch it, but searching that using Lemmy search doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?

      i am very new round here. very much yet to understand.

      your https link worked for me.

      this is very strange.

        It’s actually pretty straight forward once someone takes the time to explain it. I’ll try.

        These ! Links are supposed to be universal I think. [email protected]

        Then there’s the long URL, https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

        First you start with your instance then /c/ just like Reddit did with r/ it means you’re looking for a community, then an @ to target another instance.

        In this example I started at lemmy.ml told it I was looking for a community, then told it where the that community lives in this case lemmy.world

          amazing!

          i am now several hours of browsing into this and i can see quite easily what you have explained.

          no longer confused (about this). thanks for your help!

      Thank you. Search by URL still doesn’t work in browser or in Limbo BUT the link you posted works when I tap on it
