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

[โ€“] WhatASave@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

[โ€“] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] dandroid@dandroid.app 3 points 1 year ago

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.

General Discussion is the display name, that wont work, actual name is !general@lemmy.world

The rest work, but lemmy community names never have capital letters. (Kbin mags can tho)

[โ€“] baconeater@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes but you can't edit other people's posts...

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

[โ€“] Awa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can fix this also... brb!

[โ€“] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

Thanks for the reformat, tho it looks like OP is here to edit.

[โ€“] Awa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Appreciate the correction, edited my first post to reflect this :)

Guess I missed it or am not in that community. Thanks!

Oh, you got a few I haven't seen yet. Nice! Thank you.

Just thought I'd add that I've found startrek@startrek.website to be great and quite active

It's run by the r/startrek and r/daystrominstitute mods.

[โ€“] Erk@cdda.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh hey cool, it looks like jerboa fixed those kind of links now! I can subscribe to your recommendations!

[โ€“] briongloid@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy 0.18 was a good update, made communities easier to link, next is posts/comment native linking.

[โ€“] Erk@cdda.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes some of this is definitely Lemmy rather than jerboa, jerboa just stopped a ctd bug stopping certain links so it became a double whammy of goodness.

[โ€“] briongloid@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tbh, I felt Jerboa 0.35 was a step back, it no longer applies my profile default sorting on boot.

[โ€“] Erk@cdda.social 2 points 1 year ago

I hadn't noticed that, but almost every change I've found in it is a huge improvement. Like being able to follow community links without a ctd.

I like !dota2@lemmy.world. It has a lot of posts with really high quality and there's lots of discussions happening in the comments.

I wish ๐Ÿ˜ญ I'm so alone

[โ€“] Evkob@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm completely biased, but !bicycles@lemmy.ca has been very decently active!

I like !foss@beehaw.org people there have good recommandations.

[โ€“] WhatASave@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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!

Ayy, hunt showdown! Thanks. I had found another hunt comm but it seemed dead.

[โ€“] fr33man@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

The instance I am on (Lemmy.zip) seems to have a lot of game based communities. You can check it out to see if a community you're looking for exists or create your own.

[โ€“] rm_dash_r_star@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] TeaHands@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It wouldn't be a replacement for that other site without:

(those last two have posts with megalists of related communities too, for gamedev and crafts respectively, check them out if you're interested in either topic)

Iโ€™ve really enjoyed joining the !frasier community. Active community and growing

[โ€“] markovianparallax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[โ€“] TheRedBadger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just did, thanks for the recommendation!

[โ€“] dpunked@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I really like our little boardgame community over at !boardgames@feddit.de

(Of course I am biased)

!selfhosted@lemmy.world is a favorite
