(edit) I'm on kbin and get a "404 Not Found" from the first link.
But if I change the first link from:
to
then it works. In other words, the "c" changes to an "m" for kbin.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !barefoot@kbin.social, !barefoot_shoes@lemmy.world)
2nd and 3rd links work for me (from kbin social). Thanks!
Gives me 404 not found
That’s unfortunate! I added a third link, it seems that depending on instances the links are fetched differently. I also tried to search for the community to trigger the indexing as suggested by the sidebar of new_communities.
Can't seem to access it with the links but also not via searching on the connect app.
As someone who only wears Vivos yes please. But that link doesn’t work.
The first link does work

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:
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.
