My apologies. I am new to this technology. What is the URL I should update the link to? I am happy to correct the mistake.

Is there no moderation in this sub? An instance-agnostic link should be the bare minimum, not the exception. !canary_cage@lemmy.world

No skin off my back. Sorry, I honestly wasn’t meaning to call you out personally, beyond maybe, hey, this is how to do this next time.
I may just look into whether I can set this community to ding my notifications for new posts.

Honestly, the bang syntax for instance-agnostic communities isn’t not very obvious to new users. It’s not a piece of standard Markdown syntax, either, so it’s not like someone can use knowledge from Reddit or elsewhere.

And the standard web interface, from what I see, does not display it, or have a copy community link button.

Further complicating this, the Threadiverse also has “display names” for communities — something which I think is probably a mistake — and one has to know how to get the actual name for the bang-syntax link. For example, the display name here is “New Communities”, but the actual community name is “newcommunities”.

Honestly, I was thinking post-approval by mods would be the best solution, for just that reason. Its why I led with the question about the existance of mods. Obviously too much work if its just the single mod who started the community.
