Universal link to the community: /c/plugins

The Lemmy UI is under development and more improvements are coming everyday, but while we wait, we're making userscripts and plugins to improve our experience.

If you're a user, feel free to just come in and use the scripts.

If you're a developer, we invite you to try and help make the experience of newcomers (and oldcomers) better.

Your universal link is missing the @instance part at the end, so it tries to redirect to a community called 'plugins' on the instance of whoever clicks on it.
This should work for everyone: /c/plugins@sh.itjust.works

And if it doesn't, see the FAQ in the sidebar here; first search for https://sh.itjust.works/c/plugins on your instance so that it fetches info on the community, then you can click the above link again and it'll work.

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules may be more established as time goes on, but it's important to have a foundation to work on.

1. Follow the rules of Lemmy.world - These rules are the same as Mastodon.world's rules, which can be found here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/community@instance.com)

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't

You should also include either:

!community@instance.com

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
