Is it possible to create community via sync?

I should probably also ask someone to explain the difference between communities on fediverse and on Reddit?

I’m missing /r/InvisibleBicycles :(

    I’ve just noticed that /m/photoshopbattles only has 32 users :(

    That’s a bit misleading, it’s 32 users from lemmy.world, not the entire fediverse. There are 223 subscribers on kbin.social

    And the linking part is still a bit rough around the edge. The best way to directly link to a community that works for anyone, on all instance is to use the following formats

    Those will always link to the right place for any instance. Outside of Lemmy, you can use https://lemmyverse.link to create a link that redirects to the instance of each visitor’s choice.

    There is also another thing you can change to handle more links at the OS level in Android

    If you go in your Android Settings > Apps > Sync > Open by default, you can press Add link and you’ll be able to enable the checkbox on a bunch of instances the developers pre-recorded. So anytime you press a link pointing to one of these instance, it will ask if you want Sync to handle it.
