I’ve seen this mentioned a few times already: people wondering why certain communities don’t show up in their instance. You need to first search for that community via the magnifying glass icon and type in “[email protected]”
Notice the exclamation mark at the beginning. Might take a few seconds. This will teach your instance about the remote community.
It would be awesome for it to convert https://lemmy.ml/c/memes into https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] automatically.
For real. I feel like I recall a browser extension doing something similar for Mastodon. But I don’t have the coding knowledge to adapt that to this use case.
Interesting, I might look into modifying the extension to work for kbin
Sweet! I would be interested, and might be able to help test. Let me know if something comes of it.
Nice, I got it working with this type of mention [email protected]. But I want to see if I can convert the link form too, I will probably make a post once is done.
