please link them differently so i can go from my local instance
like this:
[Name](/c/[email protected]), this way anyone from any community can click links on the sidebar easily from their local instance. Example: Tenacious D

Metal community, all subgenres welcome.
It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

i think i've sorted it, sorry about that
Wait it's not sorted. Idk. Hahahah. I'll test on my own community.
hmm, this is the link right now:
https://sh.itjust.works/comment/[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
seems not sorted :( sry
if u mod me i can play around w it as well & save u the bother. x)
sorry the slayer link was just broken, it is hosted on a different instance, but it should be sorted now i hope lol
I tested and this works on my test community's sidebar:
do the other links work for you?
Testing and it works now :)
good, if it didn't work this time I think i would have had to mod you. I'll copy it over to all my other subs
also, thank you very much for formatting stuff that way :) i clicked em all and subbed to them, i have enjoyed each of those bands in the past.
well if u want some help modding shit u can just add me to anything, i have too much time on my hands and spend an ungodly amount of hours browsing lemmy everyday. i don't promise to do anything other than deleting spam and fixing broken stuff tho
sure, what do you want added to?
this one prolly, i will make a few comms for my fav bands later on and add them to the sidebar. I'll try and keep up with the metal scene on lemmy and try and bring em here.
sounds good
I may also make a Spotify-playlist-to-youtube-link-list tool to add content to a few of the dead subs, idk if that's good but seems better than empty lol. I wanna make a bot to make it easier to post and keep track of stuff too. Honestly I just fucking love that Lemmy is open source and has a working API unlike Reddit. Got so many ideas and so little time available rn so I'll take a while to come up with cool shit. Would you be interested in one of these scripts? You can also make requests and I'll see what I can do that's within my means.
i'm gonna be honest, I don't know a huge amount about scripting, but this all sounds good to me and if there's anything I can do to help, lmk
yeah scripting requires learning a tiny bit about it. later on, not now because i don't know if it's possible to make the script i talked about, but later on you can help build or find cool playlists that we can iterate through to fill a few of the empty subs. I'd basically run an automation on my server that would post every X hours or days to keep them not-dead.
thats not a bad idea, coz I know back on reddit, it was quite off-putting to find a sub that had no recent posts
sorry i'm quite new to this, are you a mod now?
yup, took me a while to make my first mod too lol, didn't find the option for like 7 minutes.
its hidden well lmao
Here you go, this should work:

[Black Sabbath](/c/[email protected])

[Powerwolf](/c/[email protected])
[Savatage](/c/[email protected])

[Tenacious D](/c/[email protected])
looks like this:
This is what it looks like in your sidebar:
now it works :))
Now it doesn't work :( hahaha, idk what you're doing
Speaking of broken links, you get a 404 if you click the link under the title in the sidebar. For some reason, (lemmy.world/c/metal) doesn't work even though this is a lemmy.world community? I'm still learning how this all works tbh.
Like the whole community is inaccessible from lemmy.ml for some reason (lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] leads to the same 404) even though they're federated. It's unfortunate cuz that's the second biggest instance.
