Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fediverse@lemmy.ml
I thought it was typed “a URL”, not " an URL"
Not sure though, dont kill me, English isn’t my native language.
They’re both acceptable in English. The rule is generally “an” if the following word starts with a vowel. But, it gets a bit tricky with initialisms (like URL) because URL is normally pronounced something like “you-are-ell”, and not “earl”. So the spelling starts with a vowel, but the pronunciation doesn’t. Nobody would fault you for using one or the other in a situation like this.
