Write it like [/c/sublemmy@lemmy.server](/c/sublemmy@lemmy.server) and it will link correctly. If it's giving you a 404 error just wait a minute and try again, the server needs to download the sub first

If you format your links like this...

/c/monero@monero.town

the links will be clickable and the user can subscribe to them from their home instance.

Thanks, I don't know the proper way of formatting yet as it seems to depend on who you ask. Early days still.

Edit: Getting a 404 error when following that link on my sh.itjust.works instance. Think this is part of the problem.

That is likely because you instance hasn't pulled the information about the community.

For me the reliable way to make it do so is to type it into a search bar (in the format !community@instance), as the message in the sidebar of communities on other instances say. And then refresh the page, to see that it actually did that.

You're likely right. Just checked the link again and it's now showing a community. Thanks again!

Edit: how are you formatting that link?

literally just the link?

/c/monero@monero.town

or is it something like how links work on markdown?

[/c/monero@monero.town](https://idk-what-here/c/monero)

If you click the source icon, it will show you the markdown code for any post or reply..

[–] master@lem.serkozh.me 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think that should be a question to @phloatingman@monero.town

[–] sneakyninjapants@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Sorry, I meant how did you write it out in the reply box, since it seems to take markdown format I wasn't sure.

[–] master@lem.serkozh.me 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am probably missing something, my comment doesn't have any links

[–] sneakyninjapants@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm not doing a good job putting my thoughts to text.

/c/monero@monero.town

^ Copy-pasted this from your previous message

How did you write that out when you were typing the reply?

[–] master@lem.serkozh.me 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, that wasn't my comment

[–] sneakyninjapants@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago
