Just giving myself a link to click
!topview@lemmy.world
Did my link not work? Just trying to make sure I did not screw up.
Yeah, sorry, your link would have been fine for most people 'cos they'll be accessing Lemmy through an app that auto-magically resolves absolute links into ones relative to their instance. It's just because I'm not using Lemmy (I've seen the MBin guy do the same thing before)
Your link is fine.
The link you posted is a website link. Hence the app I use for lemmy (Connect) opens it in an external browser. From there, I can't subscribe, since I'm only logged in, in the app.
The link format that andrew posted is a lemmy link. It is instance independant, meaning that you can view it through any lemmy server, or even via other federated platforms. Connect opens this link within the app.
