There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

i should have added it here a while ago!

Thanks. I'm not sure that's exactly what I'm imagining, because this still involves hard-coding an instance to the link. People from many different instances might be viewing the link, so I'd imagine a flow like: when you mouse-hover a link to a community, a little popup appears which provides a custom link based on your home instance. So whether [email protected] is a link to the lemmy.ml or lemmy.ca domain wouldn't matter, ideally you'd always get the option of viewing the community from your home instance at a single click. Hope that makes sense, today is my first day after all.

I totally agree. That's the behaviour I also expected from the default "!"-prefaced community links. Unfortunately it currently doesn't work that way, but if I have time later this week I may take another look into the source code to see if an easy fix can be done.
