      Hey, if you add a ! at the start of those, they will turn into working links for people on version 18.

        I’m on Jerboa and when I click it it asks if I want to open it in Gmail or Outlook lol. Still working out kinks!

          It’s better than the alternative, atm Jerboa crashes when you try to give it relative links… Open links to communities in is gonna need some updates.

            For me (Lemmy version 0.18.0, Jerboa version 0.35), it follows the links, but gets all fucky. The header is correct for the community, but the posts are all from my default homepage (subscribed communities, sorted by hot). And if I click and posts, the app crashes.

      Formatted for easy navigation once your instance has upgraded to the current version. Clicking the link should take you to a version of the community linked from your instance. Feel free to comment with any broken links you know the answer to.

          I am aware, however the only change i made to @Awa@lemmy.world’s comment was adding the exclamation point so it’s linkable. I don’t know all the communities they were referring to so I couldn’t apply a fix

              Another tip, you can use lists to make stuff more compact without so much space between lines.

              • like
              • this
              • or my other comment in this thread
              • just add - and a space in front of each line
              • you can of course use preview to make sure it works

                Another great tip. When I originally posted each on a single line, they all got mashed together. Will use in future posts.

                  Two spaces at the end of a line
                  will prevent that from happening.

                  Blame markdown.

        Hey so I see there’s a few different instances for TodayILearned, are they all considered unique? Like would it be /TodayILearned1 /TodayILearned2 and so on if they were on Reddit, separate communities? Or are community names unique throughout the fediverse?

          They are considered unique communities although they could cover the same topic. It’s a lot like an email address that way, you can have til@fake.server and til@different.fake. They are unique addresses, but they can have the same name before the at sign.

          Something i would like to see in future development is some sort of multi-reddit type feature to combine multiple similar communities into one grouping

          They are separate communities each on a different server. You will encounter a bunch of duplicate communities on various servers for the big topics (news, technology, gaming, etc.)

    Nothing specific but swapping to Lemmy I realized that it was a lot of big subs but not smaller video game subs :( so I guess in general if there are games you play, go be active in those communities!

          It might be something Jerboa still needs to implement. From what I understand, this was part of the new update to Lemmy. Only servers that have updated have this feature, not all have because they had to temporarily remove captcha. I don’t know if it’s something to do with jerboa, or the instance you’re on but it will eventually become clickable as servers update.

    I’m liking all the ones I’m subscribed to right now, can’t really nail down a favorite. Get a wide array of topics here, I was really pidgeon holed before because I’d get overloaded.
