  • Yes, thank you for sharing! I think it looks good and should be useful to new users. I’ve bookmarked it.

    As for adding anything, this may be too advanced and could detract from what you have written for beginners, but might work as a second article: tips for linking across instances. For example:

    • To link to a community so that it opens the reader’s local copy on their own instance, use the [email protected] format.
    • To find your local instance’s copy of a linked comment or post in order to interact with it (comment, upvote, downvote, report, etc), search the linked URL string in your own instance’s search to find it.




    • Completely flat chiclet keyboards on laptops. It drives me absolutely insane because I can barely tell if my fingers are aligned with the keys. Thanks, Apple!
    • Hidden controls on desktop software or desktop websites (ex: hidden exit, forward, and back controls on picture galleries)
    • Hiding or collapsing scrollbars on desktop software

    In general, it seems like there’s a major trend in design of form beating the heck out of function. It looks pretty! Who cares if you can actually use it or not?
