Syntax to link to a community or a user in a comment?
Syntax to link to a community or a user in a comment?
In particular for a user, so they get a notification that they were mentioned.
@supercheesecake@aussie.zone should do it.
Thanks. So like Mastodon. I even got the notification. Very nice!
Good to hear it all worked properly.
Thank you!
If you write
!someCommunity@some.instanceand aren't on some.instance yourself, that works for everyone, regardless of whether their instance server knows about that community already or not.If you are on some.instance and write
!someCommunity@some.instance, both lemmy and kbin are overzealous and it ends up only working for people on some.instance.In that case, you can use
[link text for lemmy users](/c/someCommunity@some.instance)and[link for kbin users](/search?q=someCommunity@some.instance). The one for kbin users looks a bit different to guarantee the link works even if their instance doesn't have anyone subscribed to someCommunity@some.instance yet. Not sure if the lemmy link works in such a case.````````
