MachineFab812Is there no moderation in this sub? An instance-agnostic link should be the bare minimum, not the exception.

My apologies. I am new to this technology. What is the URL I should update the link to? I am happy to correct the mistake.
No skin off my back. Sorry, I honestly wasn’t meaning to call you out personally, beyond maybe, hey, this is how to do this next time.
I may just look into whether I can set this community to ding my notifications for new posts.
talHonestly, the bang syntax for instance-agnostic communities isn’t not very obvious to new users. It’s not a piece of standard Markdown syntax, either, so it’s not like someone can use knowledge from Reddit or elsewhere.
Honestly, I was thinking post-approval by mods would be the best solution, for just that reason. Its why I led with the question about the existance of mods. Obviously too much work if its just the single mod who started the community.
nocturneAnd the standard web interface, from what I see, does not display it, or have a copy community link button.
Further complicating this, the Threadiverse also has “display names” for communities — something which I think is probably a mistake — and one has to know how to get the actual name for the bang-syntax link. For example, the display name here is “New Communities”, but the actual community name is “newcommunities”.
BubsSo what is your community? What is its purpose? If you’re gonna post here, I highly recommend looking at the community rules and adding all the proper info.
I love seeing people make new Lemmy communities. It’s even better when people spread the word in places like NewCommunities, but it doesn’t help you much if you’re missing all the info (and the proper link).
