Now that we're on Lemmy, the different categories aren't called "subreddits" anymore. What are they called now? Communities? And is there a way to link them like we used to with an r/ ?

Subs still works for me :)

Wrt to linking, since Lemmy is a federated service you generally need to supply the instance as well afaik. Eg: /c/[email protected]

Edit: welp, the /c/ either doesn’t work on my mobile client or is limited to some instances…

The safer way to link communities is using the !_@__ notation, similar to email addresses. So for the support community it’d be [email protected] - which all instances know how to link to that.
