That's great but the @ symbol.seems to be for users, not communities
ah, cool. I'm not clear on the syntax. How should it be done, correctly?
FWIW, when I click on the link above it takes me to "https://fedia.io/m/disneyvacation@lemmy.world"
I'm open for suggestions.
Already looking into it! I think Sync is expecting the ! symbol, let's test it out:
!disneyvacation@lemmy.world
Edit: that works for me!
Hunh, that's interesting they both resolve to the address above. But is that because we are both in fedia.io? And are you therefore saying that it wouldn't resolve correctly if we, and or Disney Vacation were in different instances? I'm still trying to understand this so I can use it and teach it to others. Thanks!!
Long story short, the "!" version will take the person clicking the link to their home instance's version of that community, keeping them logged in and able to subscribe/interact. It's much nicer to deal with sharing communities that way.
It probably has to do with whichever app or site you're using to browse. I believe the accepted syntax is to use the ! prefix to denote a community, so I'd expect that to have wider support.
