      General Discussion is the display name, that wont work, actual name is !general@lemmy.world

      The rest work, but lemmy community names never have capital letters. (Kbin mags can tho)

        I am aware, however the only change i made to @Awa@lemmy.world’s comment was adding the exclamation point so it’s linkable. I don’t know all the communities they were referring to so I couldn’t apply a fix

            Another tip, you can use lists to make stuff more compact without so much space between lines.

            • like
            • this
            • or my other comment in this thread
            • just add - and a space in front of each line
            • you can of course use preview to make sure it works

              Another great tip. When I originally posted each on a single line, they all got mashed together. Will use in future posts.

                Two spaces at the end of a line
                will prevent that from happening.

                Blame markdown.

      Hey so I see there’s a few different instances for TodayILearned, are they all considered unique? Like would it be /TodayILearned1 /TodayILearned2 and so on if they were on Reddit, separate communities? Or are community names unique throughout the fediverse?

        They are considered unique communities although they could cover the same topic. It’s a lot like an email address that way, you can have til@fake.server and til@different.fake. They are unique addresses, but they can have the same name before the at sign.

        Something i would like to see in future development is some sort of multi-reddit type feature to combine multiple similar communities into one grouping

          Interesting. Well I’m rooting for federated services so we can’t have the rugs pulled out from under us again by large corporations.

        They are separate communities each on a different server. You will encounter a bunch of duplicate communities on various servers for the big topics (news, technology, gaming, etc.)

          For now at least. I would imagine in time the duplicates may converge into one or the other.
