Check out the pinned post for a general guide to the community that includes lots of relevant examples.

Links are a still somewhat a mess, but hopefully at least one should work:

!urbandetails | !urbandetails

Full web link

/c/UrbanDetails

@UrbanDetails

Local lemmy.world link

Or just paste this into search: urbandetails@kbin.social

What you want for a neutral link is !urbandetails@kbin.social

Updated, but it looks the same for me on kbin. Does it work for you now? How does that link distinguish between communities on different instances?

So a link that looks like !community will look for the community on the local instance, which works fine for you because it's ON your local instance, but not for me because I'm on another one.

A link that looks like yourinstance.tld/c/community will look for the community on your instance, which works fine if you're logged in there like you are, but I can't interact there because I'm on another instance.

I can physically navigate to myinstance.tld/c/community@yourinstance.tld, and it will work for me, but as a link it only works for those signed in at myinstance.tld.

But the shorthand version, !community@yourinstance.tld, automatically resolves to the working link for whatever instance the user is signed into.
