No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Does this work? (if yes, I used the link markdown thingy).
Yes, but links on lemmy.world will work for me. (Your link doesn't exactly work, but that's only because the lemmy.world is duplicated.)
Is that the expected way to use the names? Should I expect communities from other instances to work the same way?
I edited the link I posted myself as code because when posting an FQDN (fully qualified domain name) Lemmy may do a relative transform, at least that's what rc.4 is doing. Names starting with a ! are internal Lemmy shortcuts to save users the trouble of typing out the FQDN and dealing with relative versus absolute. They're not working right everywhere yet, but they should be on the next official version release.
No. This is what I'm seeing your link as:
https://lemmy.world/post/lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
First, /post doesn't work. The FQDN is:
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
However, that will always take you to the lemmy.world website, which if you are a user of lemmy.one (for example) you don't want - you won't be able to comment or post there. If you use a relative path:
/c/[email protected]
It tells the browser to go to that location on whatever server you are currently on. As noted elsewhere, this doesn't work on kbin because they chose to use /m instead of /c. I expect that one or both of Lemmy & Kbin will automatically convert URLs in the future, and will ultimately support the
[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
form.edit: Note that the "@lemmy.world" is optional when you are on lemmy.world, but it is the part that will get you to the right place if you use the link on another instance.
