I can't imagine why anyone would need this community.

I feel like you missed the joke.

Hi, could you edit your post so that the link is through beehaw? I don’t know the correct terminology, but it would be great if people here could access the community and actually see the advantages of federation.

Just link beehaw.org/c/aphantasia@lemmy.world

Yes, my bad. Still trying to figure out this stuff. Is there a way to make it cross-instance, so that it always point to your local instance?

Edit: fixed link

No worries, I’m still figuring things out myself. The link I posted doesn’t even work actually, I can’t find that community here but maybe it will show up eventually?

I also think a feature like that would be great but it seems like something that actual Lemmy devs have to look at. It’ll also probably take a while for users to use it, but I agree it’s a bit annoying when you just want to share a link.

Just tried searching it on beehaw.org manually but nothing shows up :(

It probably needs some time to sync up?

If you ever had time (and you remember), I would appreciate if you could let me know if the community ever becomes reachable over there.

Edit: I'll put the previous link bank momentarily as if it's broken, it would look bad haha

I also think that maybe it takes a while, I’ll take a look later and let you know!

Don’t worry about it.

Welp, I guess it doesn't work yet cuz maybe no one on beehaw has subscribed yet? It returns 404

Yay, please do! You can be a mod here too if you want, although it's super small for now, so there isn't much to do LOL
