BestOfLemmy - Lemmy.world

lemmy.world

Manual curation of great Lemmy discussions and threads

This is a bit of a “Meta community”. Lemmy users are still new and confused (though enthusiastic). Finding good threads that “sample” what Lemmy is about and what it can do will be a good thing, at least in the short term, to help this community figure out the hows and why’s of Lemmy and its federation model.

the title links take you out of your instance

The third link solves that problem. See my other comment in this thread for a detailed explanation.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
