Hey people! I have just started using Lemmy and have have got a basic feel for how it works ok. The one thing that confuses me is the navigation using the exclamation mark, like ‘[email protected]’
All the help blogs say go to search in your home instance and type [email protected]’, but why would I do that. If I know the name of the community I want why not just go to the address bar of my home instance and add ‘/c/[email protected]’.
Isn’t that easier, with less steps? Can someone explain the benefit of the ‘!’ addressing.
Cheers everyone!
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: [email protected], [email protected]
