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

Here it looks like the link is added when you make the comment, and the it is added directly to the formatting. I'm guessing you're using an app or some other client to access Lemmy? On reddit, it just recognises the "/r/" and places the link on the front end.
