Is there no moderation in this sub? An instance-agnostic link should be the bare minimum, not the exception. [email protected]

Honestly, 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.

And 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”.
