      Yeah, but it’s nice to realise that other people are going ‘huh?’ at some of this stuff too.

        Oh, I actually noticed a thing I said was wrong. I said:

        What works for me is this link: /c/[email protected]

        It doesn’t work after all. What I was looking at was the “source” of the OP which showed

        “What is this thing?”

        as

        ["What is this thing?"](/c/whatisthisthing@lemmy.world)

        which made me think that writing community links works just like reddit and you can just write c/<community>@<communitys_instance> and it will link to it. But turns out it doesn’t work like that after all.

        What works is specifically using the link syntax of

        [<link_title>](c/<community>@<communitys_instance>)

        which will create a link, but

        c/<community>@<communitys_instance>

        by itself wont.
