This was asked today in another community, but still happy to share my favorites in hopes that others will enjoy:

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

[โ€“] WhatASave 10 points 2 years 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€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years 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 [email protected]

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I am aware, however the only change i made to @[email protected]'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 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can fix this also... brb!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 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
[โ€“] Awa 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Another great tip. When I originally posted each on a single line, they all got mashed together. Will use in future posts.

Just thought I'd add that I've found [email protected] to be great and quite active

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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 [email protected]. It has a lot of posts with really high quality and there's lots of discussions happening in the comments.

It's not super active yet, but it's growing. Mainly I just like having a place to drop interesting video essays.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Thanks. Yeah I went, joined, and posted a video. That place should really be filled with more of Technology Connections

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For the lazy

[email protected]

Adding an exclamation point at the beginning like that makes it friendly for remote instances. Anyone can click and subscribe no matter if they're on lemmy.world or not!

I'm completely biased, but [email protected] has been very decently active!

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)

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I like [email protected] people there have good recommandations.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years 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€“] WhatASave 6 points 2 years ago (4 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!
