Unfortunately a lot of Reddit communities have not transferred over to Lemmy so I have to use Reddit logged out. But now the comments aren't loading anymore...

It's at https://lemmy.world/c/skunks so feel free to visit.

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: !skunks@lemmy.world

Why doesn't it work well unless I do it like how you're doing it?

Well, for example, here's a community on my instance that I use for testing bots: https://lemmings.world/c/bot_playground

If you click the link, you will be taken to my instance and you will leave yours (lemmy.world) which means you cannot comment, post, like etc. But if you click the fixed link, it opens correctly on your instance: !bot_playground@lemmings.world.

@opossums seems to get activity too. I'm kind of surprised at some of the communities that seem to get activity. Cats I expected, as cat pics are an Internet standby, but I didn't expect to see other furry critters have their fans hop in as prominently.
