Imagine reposting to the same community you took the meme from 🤦

I think it wasn't meant as a repost to this community. It was a post on mastodon that was picked up by lemmy because this community was credited:

Found by: @programmerhumor

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: !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

@CommunityLinkFixer
This is for lemmy users right? The @ version is better for mastodon right?

Since mastodon has no equivalent to lemmy's communities, it can't handle lemmy's !community@instance links.

Communities are represented as a regular user on the mastodon side, if you mention a user (using @) on mastodon, it will be parsed as a markdown link on lemmy: [@lucy_idk](https://mastodon.world/@lucy_idk)

@d_k_bo
d_k_boyou are right. I wanted to share it with my mastodon account, but then there is only the url and not the picture in the post. Maybe there is a way i didn't see. so i took the meme and credited with the source and shared it with my community. It becames funny bc @programmerhumor then reposted my repost from their meme.. so a new dimension is createt ^2

For future reference if you tag the Lemmy community in a reply instead of the top-level toot it won't do this 😄
