On the old site, there were a number of funny video communities with regular posts, for example /r/Unexpected, /r/PublicFreakout, or /r/WhatCouldGoWrong. While there are plenty of memes on Lemmy, we have relatively little video content. Those of you who used to frequent video subs, what have you replaced them with since coming to Lemmy?

Unfortunately that's not the best way to link to communities on Lemmy, when people click those links they see it through Lemmy.world your home instance.

You want to format the links like below, with an exclamation point before the community name @ the instance that the community is hosted on

[email protected]

When you link it this way it will open on whatever instance the viewer is viewing your comment on.

Absolutely my pleasure, Lemmy will be a better place when everyone knows how to use it.
