I guessing I should have checked again before posting! Thank you :)
No worries. Discovery of new places is pretty hard and to some extent that's the purpose of this post anyway.
New guy here. How do I use that?
It should be a clickable link that takes you to the whatisthisthing@lemmy.world community.
On boost it is not, not yet... Which is weird, it should be one of the first features to code when porting to lemmy.
That's so strange. Sorry to hear that.
(Move to Voyager... :P)
Even if there is a community, the pool of people providing answers in these sorts of utility subs is going to be a fraction of what it was.
Well, every now and again, someone needs to post on the reddit one saying "look at them misidentifying a thing on Lemmy".
They'll either be genuinely helpful types, and join us to help out, or they'll be "someone is wrong on the internet" types, and join us to be correct.
Obviously I have no idea if this would work in practice.
