Shameless plug: you could try !askscience@lemmy.world

Link seems to be trying to find a user rather than a community. At least in the Connect app.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !askscience@lemmy.world

[–] lechatron@lemmy.today 1 points 6 months ago

Thanks! I forgot to put the exclamation mark at the front of the link. Hopefully it works now
