Check out the pinned post for a general guide to the community that includes lots of relevant examples.
The community is located on kbin. In case you don’t see any posts, no one from your instance has yet subscribed to the community. Subscribe and you’ll see new posts going forward. There are a dozen threads there right now.
Links are a still somewhat a mess, but hopefully at least one should work:
Do none of those work? I used all the different variations I could find, I really don’t know what else to add. I guess you can add /c/[email protected] to your instance’s address for a direct link, or look it up in search. Sorry.
But damn, this whole link situation needs to be fixed somehow.
So a link that looks like !community will look for the community on the local instance, which works fine for you because it’s ON your local instance, but not for me because I’m on another one.
A link that looks like yourinstance.tld/c/community will look for the community on your instance, which works fine if you’re logged in there like you are, but I can’t interact there because I’m on another instance.
I can physically navigate to myinstance.tld/c/[email protected], and it will work for me, but as a link it only works for those signed in at myinstance.tld.
But the shorthand version, [email protected], automatically resolves to the working link for whatever instance the user is signed into.
The Lemmy editor is treating ! as end of sentence. So it word wraps after it. So you have to force a URL to begin st the left of the screen as s bug workaround.
Wow that was hard to type! The editor (using Firefox ATM, Connect app now says “not logged in” after I log in) (ahhh growing pains) kept popping up some weird list of communities. Extremely unhelpful.

Looking at the attached drawing I see:
Those are streets in a large complex Permaculture city. The strange shapes formed between them are spaces for dwellings, gardens, forest gardens, orchards, parks, constructed wetlands, markets. It is a bird’s eye view of a populated urban zone with transplanted rural features, overlaid the settlement. It is a place where you can go and live and not feel that you have left Nature behind. It is an element of Gaia.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
I’m trying to access the community from Connect, but none of the links work.
Neither the search bar…
I’m on feddit.it, maybe we are not federated… That’s hard.
That’s weird. Can you see other kbin communities?
Who knows… Do you have a link that I can follow to try?
Do none of those work? I used all the different variations I could find, I really don’t know what else to add. I guess you can add /c/[email protected] to your instance’s address for a direct link, or look it up in search. Sorry.
But damn, this whole link situation needs to be fixed somehow.
No luck 🤷🏻♂️
I’ll try from a browser
Try pasting each of these into a search:
http://kbin.social/m/UrbanDetails
[email protected]
[email protected]
Usually one of those works.
Neato
What you want for a neutral link is [email protected]
Updated, but it looks the same for me on kbin. Does it work for you now? How does that link distinguish between communities on different instances?
So a link that looks like !community will look for the community on the local instance, which works fine for you because it’s ON your local instance, but not for me because I’m on another one.
A link that looks like yourinstance.tld/c/community will look for the community on your instance, which works fine if you’re logged in there like you are, but I can’t interact there because I’m on another instance.
I can physically navigate to myinstance.tld/c/[email protected], and it will work for me, but as a link it only works for those signed in at myinstance.tld.
But the shorthand version, [email protected], automatically resolves to the working link for whatever instance the user is signed into.
Good to know, thanks for clarifying
No worries, we’re ALL new here.
AHA!
the Lemmy editor is wrapping after the bang. It doesn’t consider ! part of a URL.
I put a newline in front of the bang character, that solved it.
Should be
[email protected]
That’s really weird, there’s no space there for me, I double-checked. I wonder at which point it gets added when moving from kbin to your instance

And just for fun, here’s a behind-the-scenes icon screenshot
That’s really interesting!
Great work!

I’m not sure I understand what your comment is really about.
