This was asked today in another community, but still happy to share my favorites in hopes that others will enjoy:

Hey, if you add a ! at the start of those, they will turn into working links for people on version 18.
I'm on Jerboa and when I click it it asks if I want to open it in Gmail or Outlook lol. Still working out kinks!
It's better than the alternative, atm Jerboa crashes when you try to give it relative links... Open links to communities in is gonna need some updates.
For me (Lemmy version 0.18.0, Jerboa version 0.35), it follows the links, but gets all fucky. The header is correct for the community, but the posts are all from my default homepage (subscribed communities, sorted by hot). And if I click and posts, the app crashes.
Formatted for easy navigation once your instance has upgraded to the current version. Clicking the link should take you to a version of the community linked from your instance. Feel free to comment with any broken links you know the answer to.
Incorrect link quoted above, use !general@lemmy.world for general discussion

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)
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.
I can fix this also... brb!
Another tip, you can use lists to make stuff more compact without so much space between lines.
- and a space in front of each lineAnother great tip. When I originally posted each on a single line, they all got mashed together. Will use in future posts.
Oh, you got a few I haven't seen yet. Nice! Thank you.
Guess I missed it or am not in that community. Thanks!

I like !dota2@lemmy.world. It has a lot of posts with really high quality and there's lots of discussions happening in the comments.
I wish ๐ญ I'm so alone
Oh hey cool, it looks like jerboa fixed those kind of links now! I can subscribe to your recommendations!
Lemmy 0.18 was a good update, made communities easier to link, next is posts/comment native linking.
Ah yes some of this is definitely Lemmy rather than jerboa, jerboa just stopped a ctd bug stopping certain links so it became a double whammy of goodness.
Tbh, I felt Jerboa 0.35 was a step back, it no longer applies my profile default sorting on boot.
I hadn't noticed that, but almost every change I've found in it is a huge improvement. Like being able to follow community links without a ctd.
I'm completely biased, but !bicycles@lemmy.ca has been very decently active!
It wouldn't be a replacement for that other site without:
(those last two have posts with megalists of related communities too, for gamedev and crafts respectively, check them out if you're interested in either topic)
I'm liking all the ones I'm subscribed to right now, can't really nail down a favorite. Get a wide array of topics here, I was really pidgeon holed before because I'd get overloaded.
Nothing specific but swapping to Lemmy I realized that it was a lot of big subs but not smaller video game subs :( so I guess in general if there are games you play, go be active in those communities!
!visualnovels@lemmy.comfysnug.space and associates.
disclaimer: im biased since i created that community
https://lemmy.world/c/videoessays
It's not super active yet, but it's growing. Mainly I just like having a place to drop interesting video essays.
Thanks. Yeah I went, joined, and posted a video. That place should really be filled with more of Technology Connections
For the lazy
Adding an exclamation point at the beginning like that makes it friendly for remote instances. Anyone can click and subscribe no matter if they're on lemmy.world or not!
I really like our little boardgame community over at !boardgames@feddit.de
(Of course I am biased)
You can be biased and promote. I'm already subbed there and have participated. Board games have been so much fun. I need to have people over to play some Wingspan again. And to play some of the Unstable Unicorn games that I haven't tried yet
