Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before.
Currently, it seems Avalon does not understand links like !community@instan.ce is a link to a community, but treats it as an email address. Clicking on it starts an email draft to community@instan.ce.
Expected result when clicking would rather be to view the community. I guess the app is blind to the !?
Hi! The app should support community links in the latest build, for instance try out this one:
I’ve seen a few cases where links break, but haven’t been able to find out exactly which cases are problematic. If you find any examples, please let me know!
User links are not supported as of now, but I’m looking at adding that soon.
Hi! Thank you for the reply. The link in your comment does indeed work.
Try opening this comment in Avelon: https://lemm.ee/comment/1870509
It contains a community link that does not work in Avelon. Does work in some other apps. I’ll try writing it on an emtpy line next in this comment, to test if Avelon then recognizes it. That is, if it’s something in the surrounding text in the linked comment that might be the issue.
Right. So the link to the community on the standalone line works. The same link within the chunk of text in the previously linked comment does not. Next, trying to link it inline here. [email protected]
That also worked. Let’s see if it is an exclamation mark prior to the link that throws it off! Community link next: [email protected] And some other text that follows.
Still worked. (There were some other special characters as well, in the linked comment. Like parenthesis.) Could that be it? Otherwise, it is something else! Testing… [email protected] (Obviously, doesn’t matter which community is linked. But sticking to it!) :-) This is the last thing I’m trying.

The community link in the comment I’m replying to now is broken in Avelon, but does work in, say, Voyager. So something about the surrounding (non-linking) exclamation marks or parenthesis breaks the community-link identification mechanism. Ping @[email protected]
Awesome, thank you. I’ll use this example to sort out whats wrong with my checker. Seems to be something about the surrounding text, yeah
User link, like in the prior comment, doesn’t seem to work either.
