After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/

I love that comment sections here are like, y’know, discussions and stuff. Not just the same jokes and parroted phrases over and over and over.

While I, too, appreciate this, I honestly have no idea how to link to another Lemmy instance (or whatever we call them).

I think its supposed to be: !community@instance

Yup, !showerthoughts@lemmy.world
When you type ! and then letters it will bring up a drop down menu

I'm gonna need you to do that about 100 more times and with different communities. Just so I can add them. Jerboa search is wonky lol

You can use this: https://lemmyverse.net/communities to find communities, when you go to a community it will have a link in the sidebar like: !community@instance.com you may have to paste that link into your instance search bar for it to show up. (I think this is only if nobody from your instance has searched for it yet.) Its kinda a pain, but I think this will be a lot easier later down the road.
