Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world

whoa - good bot!

[–] JackOfNoTrades@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For some reason the link posted by Ghostalmedia worked for me but the link posted by the bot didn't. Can anyone explain why? Is it just because I'm on the lemmy.world instance?

If the bot link doesn't work it's more likely a client issue I would assume (the app or browser you're using)

Yep turns out it was a connect app issue

I'm also not quite sure of how it works yet but at least the first part is correct i think. The full link worked for you because its to the instance your account is on. When i use that link (on the desktop website) i get redirected to that site but i don't have an account there so i cant interact with it on this account. Similarly: if I link https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world it will work for me without problems but you should see a website where you aren't logged in (at least using the website, mobile apps might handle it differently i think).

(Although i have no idea why the exclamation mark link didn't work for you, it did work for me at least. Maybe its the app you are using? I remember that for example some old jerboa version had problems with the exclamation mark links where it would just crash when you tried to use them.)

Yep turns out you're right, the Connect app seems to work with all the http links whereas the ! links don't work. On the Jerboa app it's the opposite so the ! links work but the http links don't.

im on the Summit app and it treats it like an email, ignoring the !

probably the apps fault
