Now pouring in a Lemmy near you, let me be the first to welcome you to /c/wine, a community for oenophiles, sommeliers, vintners, and more. Come share in our love of the nectar of the gods!

    I recently started learning about wine and was a fan of seeing people post on r/wine. Glad there’s now a community here. Hope there’s enough interest for this place to grow. Look forward to it!

    Looking for an alternative to /r/wine and I’m wondering why doesn’t lemmy.world/c/wine work as a link? Isn’t it more complicated to add the @lemmy.world?

      In theory I’m pretty sure it should be working like that but it seems for whatever reason this community needs the extra @lemmy.world. My guess is its a bug that’s causing it to behave like that. Every community I see can be reached with https://(instance)/c/(community).

      The unfortunate growing pains with Lemmy seems to be everyone trying to understand how the Fediverse works while also having to work with bugs that cause it to not function as intended.

        I’m honestly not sure if this one is on Lemmy or on me, but I think it’s confusing for sure!

          Yea tbh I took a look at your profile and saw all the communities you moderate and noticed ones with “@lemmy.world” are unreachable with things like “lemmy.world/c/vinyl” but others like “lemmy.world/c/languages” work just fine. Did you name them all in the same way or did you add “@lemmy.world” to some but not others. I think it may be the latter which is where the problem occurs.

            I didn’t explicitly add the @lemmy.world when I created them. It might have something to do with my main account being on another instance, @lemmy.pt? Not sure. But at any rate it doesn’t seem to affect much once people are subscribed. It looks the same as any other @lemmy.world community from another instance, but I see now it looks a bit weird from inside lemmy.world. I… don’t know how to fix it now, I can’t edit the community name and if I try to create just /c/wine for example, it fails silently. So hopefully as it is now won’t be a problem as we already have subscribers. Still learning as I go here, too.

              Interesting. In that case, I think the most likely explanation is that when someone from a different instance than the one that hosts the community makes the community it adds the extra @(instance) to the end. Whether thats a bug or a feature only the devs know i guess lol.

      As I understand, you need to specifically also mention the instance. each instance could have their own wine community. So you need to link to the specific instance community

        Oh boy this is complicated.

        I made /c/vancouver here and lemmy.world/c/vancouver just links to the vancouver community… why isn’t it the same here? Sorry to stray off-topic here!

            I’m also not sure what the difference is but I do seem to be able to access this from both lemmy world and lemmy pt, so I honestly don’t know
