If people can’t be arsed enough to even get their post format correct, they don’t deserve the free promotion.

    I wish the post rules would also include what to do for kbin.

    At the moment if I’m interested in a community I often have to write the url myself.

    Also I don’t know how to format kbin urls for lemmy users to follow.

      Lemmy community for kbin: /search?q=newcommunities@lemmy.world

      Technically the actual link is /m/newcommunities@lemmy.world, but if your kbin instance has no subscribers to that community yet, you have to first find it with the first link and subscribe to it, otherwise you get a 404.

      At least on kglitch.social, using !newcommunities@lemmy.world seems to work like a combination of both: Searching for it when kglitch.social doesn’t know about it yet, going to /m/community if kglitch.social does know about it.

        Thanks, I mean I wish the formula was included in the rules so people making posts would include it so I could just click.

        The part I don’t know is how to post a kbin community for Lemmy users.
