I'm confused to be honest, but I admit I just started. But like, where do I look at pictures of houseplants and post mine? Do I find a server devoted to houseplants? Or maybe I should just finally figure out Instagram for that.
There's the Nature and Gardening community on Beehaw.org, you might want to check that out.
There's a houseplants sub on mander.xyz. I'll see if I can figure out how to link it...
!houseplants@mander.xyz ... Nope...
https://mander.xyz/c/houseplants ... Jumps to the browser at least in Jerboa.
No idea if there is an equivalent of typing r/subreddit...
Here's a link: /c/houseplants@mander.xyz
Linking is a bit clunky and a lot of people post direct links to a community with its home instance URL, which causes problems when you're browsing around. That's an issue I hope improves over time as the software matures.
Edit: I don’t know if that link will work in apps. I’m using the TestFlight of Mlem on iOS and it just crashes the app 😂. But in the browser it’ll take you to the community in your home instance instead of the community’s home instance.
Huh! Clicking that actually crashes Jerboa...
Oohhh, so that is how you do the links!!
Testing: /c/gaybros@lemmy.world
EDIT: Seems to work! Hopefully Lemmy will make it so things of the format /c/blabla@abc.cde are automatically linked without having to mess with markdown.
Edit: replies with the wrong account. See edit above.
Note to self: be careful signing into accounts on multiple instances!
