Check out the pinned post for a general guide to the community that includes lots of relevant examples.

The community is located on kbin. In case you don’t see any posts, no one from your instance has yet subscribed to the community. Subscribe and you’ll see new posts going forward. There are a dozen threads there right now.

Links are a still somewhat a mess, but hopefully at least one should work:

!urbandetails | !urbandetails

Full web link

/c/UrbanDetails

@UrbanDetails

Local lemmy.world link

Or just paste this into search: urbandetails@kbin.social

      Updated, but it looks the same for me on kbin. Does it work for you now? How does that link distinguish between communities on different instances?

        So a link that looks like !community will look for the community on the local instance, which works fine for you because it’s ON your local instance, but not for me because I’m on another one.

        A link that looks like yourinstance.tld/c/community will look for the community on your instance, which works fine if you’re logged in there like you are, but I can’t interact there because I’m on another instance.

        I can physically navigate to myinstance.tld/c/community@yourinstance.tld, and it will work for me, but as a link it only works for those signed in at myinstance.tld.

        But the shorthand version, !community@yourinstance.tld, automatically resolves to the working link for whatever instance the user is signed into.

        That’s really weird, there’s no space there for me, I double-checked. I wonder at which point it gets added when moving from kbin to your instance

          The Lemmy editor is treating ! as end of sentence. So it word wraps after it. So you have to force a URL to begin st the left of the screen as s bug workaround.

          Like this

          !community@example.com

          Wow that was hard to type! The editor (using Firefox ATM, Connect app now says “not logged in” after I log in) (ahhh growing pains) kept popping up some weird list of communities. Extremely unhelpful.
