Full URL links to communities appear to open fine - even if the instance isn’t aware of that community (hurray! thank you for this, it’s ace!) However, links with exclamation marks seem to try to open a user.
I’m going to try putting one in here, but I’m posting from kbin so it might go a bit weird or not exhibit the same problem. !lemmings@lemmings.world
I also remember that this worked at a point, but it doesn’t anymore. It’s always the format with the ! exclamation point in front. @Kuro@lemmy.ca If you are looking for examples, basically all links in https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities don’t work. They’re in the format
I am now realizing that Connect also screws up the link formatting for this style when posting
It seems like the link you provided works just Like intended, altho I definerly have seen that bug. I think it was at a link sth like this one (links with ! and @):
