Currently if the community hasn’t been discovered by your instance then you’ll get a 404 error like I just did, apparently it’s a known thing and you need to search for the community before accessing it, see here - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1335
Before you had to fiddle with the markdown link manually. As of v18, you can just type out the name of a community in the !name@instan.ce format, in plain-text, and it will become a working link.
Is there a special way to make those links? Half of them work, but then others are like an email address. This one didn’t work.
I believe links like this will be sorted automatically in Lemmy 0.18 but until then links are like this without the space between ] (
[!community@instance] (/c/community@instance)
!kde@lemmy.kde.social

Ah OK, that one rendered correctly. But just crashes Jerboa, assuming that’s because it has federated yet or something.
