General Discussion is the display name, that wont work, actual name is !general@lemmy.world

The rest work, but lemmy community names never have capital letters. (Kbin mags can tho)

Yes but you can't edit other people's posts...

Appreciate the correction, edited my first post to reflect this :)

I am aware, however the only change i made to @Awa@lemmy.world's comment was adding the exclamation point so it's linkable. I don't know all the communities they were referring to so I couldn't apply a fix

Thanks for the reformat, tho it looks like OP is here to edit.

Another tip, you can use lists to make stuff more compact without so much space between lines.

  • like
  • this
  • or my other comment in this thread
  • just add - and a space in front of each line
  • you can of course use preview to make sure it works

Another great tip. When I originally posted each on a single line, they all got mashed together. Will use in future posts.

Two spaces at the end of a line
will prevent that from happening.

Blame markdown.
