Using the recently created property https://wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P11947
in Wikidata, you can define Lemmy communities using the property above.
What is good about having this ?
There was already a property for Mastodon instance links and addresses, but there was not one for Lemmy communities, but with that new property, you can create a statement with a Lemmy community ID for a certain item.
It basically means that Lemmy links are now recognised by Wikipedia
what is wikidata?

ohh thanks
Is it possible to have them work across any instance?
you just input a community URL like
communityname@host.tld
, which is pretty much how you reach any sorts if community.
Does this support all instances?
