I love the original patientgamers subreddit so I was stoked to find this community. And because lemmy seems to have a more knowledgeable crowd any topic I posted here had great engagement and discussions, despite the small community. I am too busy to be a mod but maybe I can help by sparking this discussion: what would be needed to keep this sub going?
Alright I’m probably being a dummy. Nothing happens when I do !truegaming - would love some assistance because clearly, I have less of a grasp on this platform than I thought I did. I used to know this lol
So, the syntax is:
That yields:
!truegaming@kbin.social
On lemmy instances, the visible text is “!” and then “truegaming@kbin.social”.
On kbin instances – and I really think that this should be changed – the instance renders the visible text to be “!” and then “truegaming”.
Both still create a valid link to it if you use the syntax with the appended “@instancename”. Just on kbin, you don’t get to see what someone actually typed. You can hover the mouse over it to see the instance to which it’s linking.
Holy shit that is so bad. Like, just an inexcusably awful user experience, that cannot possibly have any effect but to cause confusion.
Perfect thank you! I bounce between Memmy app and mobile version of kbin so I get turned around a lot.
