/r/AccidentalRenaissance moderators have all resigned. The subreddit has permanently shut down and moved to Lemmy.

Lee Duna@lemmy.nz to Reddit@lemmy.world – 4264 points –

AccidentalRenaissance has no active moderators due to Reddit's unprecedented API changes, and has thus been privated to prevent vandalism.

If you drop the first half, the web version and most apps will open the community in your instance.

404 not found.

This is going well!

That's not a url. You should try using the search option and put that in there instead.

It acts as a URL in most mobile apps and the website.

Ok, it acts like a URL, but it is not a URL. It does not have the proper URL prefix.

A 404 error is what you get with a bad URL.

You won't get a 404 if you're using the webapp, or on most mobile apps. For instance, I'm on Voyager and the subreddit link works fine upon clicking. No need to copy and paste it to the search.

I'm aware. I'm just repeating the error message they said they got, which was a 404.

Thanks! Kind of annoying that this is required just now, either there's an easier way that I'm just too dumb to see - or I imagine this process will be made easier in future (hopefully near) :D

I imagine some sort of autocomplete feature could be made which provides a dropdown menu of communities and instances based on what you type after "/c/".

It exists! It gets triggered when you start typing exclamation mark followed by a few characters. A long popup list appeared with communities your home instant knows of.

And this is with the stock web ui. If you're using an app then it's up to the developer of that app.

Why not trigger it when someone types "/c/". Using an exclamation mark isn't intuitive.

/c/ (and kbin's /m/) is an implementation detail, the "real" community names all start with !

well, technically they're just fancy user accounts which means they start with @, but that's even more obscure an implementation detail, especially with lemmy allowing both a user and community to have the same name
