Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

!startrek@startrek.website is the link but it'll probably be easier to just go here.
https://beehaw.org/search/q/%20startrek/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1
Which you can then select the one you want and it will take you to a link like this.
https://beehaw.org/c/startrek@startrek.website
Notice how it references the original link? the ! tells the site to view the community locally instead of opening it in it's native location.
It seems like it should be straightforward, but it doesn't appear to be working very well.
I just saw a community I wanted to follow. My account is in lemmy.fmhy.ml, and the community is in lemmy.world.
The link to the community is this: https://lemmy.world/c/sql
Following formatting standards, the link for me to be able to join SHOULD be https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/sql@lemmy.world correct?
But when I type that in I get "404: couldnt_find_community". This is true every time I try to simply change the community name.
Am I misunderstanding something?
The trick I use is to double-search for it
On your instance, search for the full URL of the original community, then search again for just the community name
So for you:
https://lemmy.world/c/sqlsqlIt is not ideal, but it has worked on my instance every time
