minus-square2muchcaffeine4u@lemmy.fmhy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year agoIt 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. In fact I have not been able to go to a single community using the URL formatting in this way. Am I misunderstanding something?
minus-squareThreen@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoThe 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: go to https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/search search for https://lemmy.world/c/sql search for sql It is not ideal, but it has worked on my instance every time
