Hi all,

In reddit, I used to use /r/watercolor

How can I link to the 'watercolor' community here in lemmy?

Thank you

The syntax here is "!community@instance.domain". For example !test_community@sopuli.xyz

So !watercolor@lemmy.ml ? (Testing here)

Edit, my system treats it like a mail link and wants to open my email client.

Or, do I need inverter commas?

"!watercolor@lemmy.ml"

Edit 2 : no, same issue

All the UI is doing is automatically making it a markdown link. You can do it yourself just by doing [!test_community@sopuli.xyz](https://sopuli.xyz/c/test_community)

Thank you. That is a lot harder than just adding a /c/ at the start for example. Going to be tricky on mobile to link to communities

Yup, but this is early days yet. As issues get filed on the github and more contributors step in to accomplish stuff, things will improve.
