Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

The thing that's confusing me most is links, whether to communities or individual posts.

I see links in a format like this:

!communityname@instance.whatever

Sometimes the exclamation mark is part of the link and it works, and sometimes it's there but not part of the link, and my phone thinks the rest is an email address.

Is there a guide anywhere to how to do links properly? TIA.

EDIT - yeah, so in my example above, the exclamation mark is not being treated as part of the link for some reason?
