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:
!urbandetails | !urbandetails
Or just paste this into search: urbandetails@kbin.social
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.
Try pasting each of these into a search:
http://kbin.social/m/UrbanDetails
UrbanDetails@kbin.social
Usually one of those works.
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/urbandetails@kbin.social 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.

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.

What you want for a neutral link is !urbandetails@kbin.social
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/community@yourinstance.tld, and it will work for me, but as a link it only works for those signed in at myinstance.tld.
But the shorthand version, !community@yourinstance.tld, automatically resolves to the working link for whatever instance the user is signed into.
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
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
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.
