    To link to a community, use

    ![community]@[instance], for example [email protected]

    The Jerboa app and the Lemmy Web UI will use your home instance’s version of that remote community so you can interact with it.

    Another way to do it is through a direct link, e.g. https://lemmy.ml/c/memes, however this is less helpful as then people on other servers can’t interact with the linked content (without a lemmy.ml account in this case).

        My question was more about nomenclature than links, so this is what I was looking for

          It really doesn’t work if you don’t indicate the instance one way or another. Eg there are gaming communities in several difference instances.

          If you say “check out c/gaming” I have no idea if you mean gaming on lemmy.ml, or gaming on lemmy.world, or gaming on lemmy.ee, etc
