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.
- there are community search engines at https://browse.feddit.de/ and https://lemmyverse.net/communities
- there are numerous other "find a community" and "community announcement" .. communities (list stickied; if you find another, comment pls)
- we will publish a Community Listing (at an as-of-yet-undetermined schedule)

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"
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!)
very excellent, Ill fix tonite.
