For example, I was told to search for [email protected] from Lemmy.world in order for Lemmy to fetch it, but searching that using Lemmy search doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?

      It’s actually pretty straight forward once someone takes the time to explain it. I’ll try.

      These ! Links are supposed to be universal I think. [email protected]

      Then there’s the long URL, https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

      First you start with your instance then /c/ just like Reddit did with r/ it means you’re looking for a community, then an @ to target another instance.

      In this example I started at lemmy.ml told it I was looking for a community, then told it where the that community lives in this case lemmy.world
