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: !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml
Since mastodon has no equivalent to lemmy’s communities, it can’t handle lemmy’s !community@instance links.
Communities are represented as a regular user on the mastodon side, if you mention a user (using @) on mastodon, it will be parsed as a markdown link on lemmy: [@lucy_idk](https://mastodon.world/@lucy_idk)
@d_k_bo
d_k_boyou are right. I wanted to share it with my mastodon account, but then there is only the url and not the picture in the post. Maybe there is a way i didn’t see. so i took the meme and credited with the source and shared it with my community. It becames funny bc @programmerhumor then reposted my repost from their meme… so a new dimension is createt ^2
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Rules:
Posts must be relevant to programming, programmers, or computer science.
No NSFW content.
Jokes must be in good taste. No hate speech, bigotry, etc.
Imagine reposting to the same community you took the meme from 🤦
I think it wasn’t meant as a repost to this community. It was a post on mastodon that was picked up by lemmy because this community was credited:

@CommunityLinkFixer
This is for lemmy users right? The @ version is better for mastodon right?

For future reference if you tag the Lemmy community in a reply instead of the top-level toot it won’t do this 😄
