is anyone else having a problem where lemmy community shortlinks aren’t parsing? like when i do [email protected], it should link to a universal link to go to it no matter what server you’re on. when i do it i can see it if i view the post on chrome but not in boost.
Which brings me to the feature request: it would be nice if the new post or comment page would auto complete this in a mention kind of format so you could do ! and then start typing a community and it would pop up suggestions and selecting one would automatically create the !communityname@server.net
code.
This would be really helpful. Ideally it should keep that format when hitting the suggestion instead of doing what desktop Lemmy does
With desktop lemmy, if I type “!canad…” and approve the suggestion, I get
[[email protected]](https://lemmy.ca/c/canada)
. This link looks like a universal link, but it’s hardcoded in.Ideally it should just autocomplete to
!canada@lemmy.ca
, and then render that as a linkeven now when i posted this i can’t click on the boost for lemmy link above but if i view it on chrome or eternity, it automatically converts to a link
