One of the smaller quality of life improvements in 0.18.1 is now lemmy-ui will look for text that looks like a community like !community@instance.com and automatically links it to your instance’s community page for ez subscribing.
So if you just type in a post or comment !community@instance.com it will link to https://beehaw.org/c/community@instance.com when you post it.
If curious, here is the change request that added this feature. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1462
How does this work during federation? You’ll see your instance’s page for that sub, I’m guessing, no matter where it’s homed?
https://programming.dev/c/programming
!programming@programming.dev
That’s correct. The one catch is your instance may not be federating that community. If that happens you will get a 404 page not found when clicking the link.
