From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links.

EDIT: There seems to be an issue with kbin that is causing problems with my links and sending some people to the kbin.cafe search results for the community. Will probably make a new post and link to it here when the problem is solved, or copy/paste my source text on a different account.

The hero we need.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Not saying this resentfully, honestly curious. What need does reposting my post as a comment with the instance names that I had in parentheses removed fulfill, what benefit is gained? I put the instance names there for communities that have the same name or close to it, and/or cover the same thing, so that you can tell the various same-name links apart. If it does something useful, I'll be happy to repost this when no more links are submitted with the instance names taken off. Is this kind of like what some people used to do on Reddit, reposting the post as a comment because otherwise mobile users would be unable to copy/paste the content?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Because the links actually work to send me to those communities

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For whatever reason, your post is just showing as !community rather than [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]). When I click on your links it is taking me to a kbin search results page, while when I click on ram's links it is taking me to the communities viewed via my instance.

Edit: I'll just add, I know it sounds like you tried to do it the right way and it didn't work. But most people don't even try and just copy/paste the URL as viewed from their instance so thank you for at least making an attempt!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If you look at the source between your post and the OP of this chain, you can see that they haven't got any special link formatting, but the links will all work correctly for any lemmy user no matter their instance - not sure if kbin handles it correctly.

e.g. [!destroy\_my\_game](https://programming.dev/c/destroy_my_game) vs [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])

I suspect it's just a convenience thing, since a number of your links point to kbin.cafe search results.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I can’t actually see the source of the OP of this chain on kbin.

I’m going to be honest, I have no idea why this is happening. I never thought I would be the idiot who would have to have other users reformat their unusable links and I’m upset that I am apparently that idiot and I’m incredibly frustrated by it. I thought !communityName@instanceName and @communityName@instanceName were supposed to work across the Fediverse so I didn’t have to resort to [text I want to display](URL) every time I wanted to share a community, I guess not. I cannot grasp why some of these are not working for people and are sending everyone to a kbin.cafe search link, even if they’re from Lemmy. Especially since when I used @communityName@instanceName on a different post, I was told by a Lemmy user that !communityName@instanceName was instance-agnostic and would let you access the community through your own instance. Not through mine (kbin.cafe). And that I shouldn’t use @communityName@instanceName because it would send everyone straight to that instance, where if it isn’t also your instance you’re probably not logged in so interacting would be inconvenient.

I wanted to make a helpful resource, not something people have to spend time fixing because it doesn’t work and I’m very upset that 1) it had to be fixed for me and 2) I can’t understand how to fix it myself. Apparently @communityName@instanceName should be equivalent to [text I want to display](URL) but given that listening to that Lemmy user didn’t work out for my current links I have no idea if swapping the ! for @ would actually work. Plus even if it did, interacting from your own instance would be inconvenient.

Tbh it sounds more and more like it's a kbin interaction problem rather than anything you're doing...

Not sure if there's any way for you to resolve it other than getting a Beehaw mod to update it for you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think you are right, considering there’s an issue on Codeberg directly referencing my post.
