Lemmy411 - Don't know where to find what you're looking for?

As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.

Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532

There is also !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.

Rules

  1. Don't be a jerk or be deliberately unhelpful

  5. Please refrain from suggesting users should use search engines or directories.
  6. No joke, troll or misleading suggestions or requests

Is there a way to change the links so that when you click on them, they open in the same instance that you're logged into? So that you can actually subscribe to them?

Lets see: !wowthislemmyexists!wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

I don't think so. Because the community doesn't technically exist on that other instance.

e.g. if I went https://lemmy.one/c/wowthislemmyexists you get: 404: couldnt_find_community

.. even IF wowthislemmyexists is SUBSCRIBED to on lemmy.one.

That doesn't work... and the link !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca still directs me to "https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists" rather than "https://lemmy.one/c/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca"

[–] tezoatlipoca@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh hey - that works: https://lemmy.one/c/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

Problem is I can't change the URLs above for everyone, there's no concept of a wildcard e.g. https:///c/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

Plus, if your instance hasn't already sub'd to the remote community, will that trick even work?

Actually, here's the trick:

[some community](/c/some_community@server.tld)

So:

[WowThisLemmyExists](/c/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca)

Gives us this link: WowThisLemmyExists

Which links to that community but within the instance you're currently in!

(many thanks to the Lemmy Project Chat on Matrix!)
