A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Say I want to link to community x on instance y.org. How do I post this so that someone from instance z.org will end up at z.com/c/x@y.org, but someone from a.org ends up on a.com/c/x@y.org?

Took this from the sidebar at newcommunities

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t

To my knowledge this doesn't work if a user in your instance hasn't previously searched for the community
