Notes on approaches in feeds and community names - ani.social
### Displaying community names in feeds This is how old.Reddit with RES extension displays community names: [https://ani.social/pictrs/image/7cecec7c-396a-4750-b322-dfc0f4dd44ff.webp] It uses r/community_name to display community names. It’s clear and by design, it’s easy to link to. Typing the community name after reddit.com on your browser seems to be common behavior for many. If I want to check out r/starcraft, I can go straight there by typing the URL on my browser reddit.com/r/starcraft. I can also link it in posts/comments. For example, “My favorite subreddit is r/starcraft.” This is how LemmyUI displays community names (B): [https://ani.social/pictrs/image/b3fd2795-34eb-43d6-9128-5f332551ccc7.webp] It uses Display [email protected] format. It clearly tells you the community name and its home instance but the format isn’t a useable link like how Reddit displays it. I can click on the link which takes me to the community page where I am likely to find [email protected]. Linking communities in posts/comments require the format [email protected] and is not useable in browser URLs as you have to keep in mind the use of /c/ instead of !. If you’re an mbin user, it would have to use /m/, which means only the use of ! is consistent with different threadiverse implementations. This is how Mbin displays community names (B): [https://ani.social/pictrs/image/45b38400-2edb-42c7-be1d-5b8cb4f0f222.webp] Unlike LemmyUI, Mbin completely omits the home instance. This is an interesting choice that departs from the Reddit format.
