    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.
