To add to this, you can use exclamation point "!" To link people to communities in a way that won't take them away from their home instance. Likewise you can use @ for users.
Example: [email protected] Or: @[email protected]
It even auto fills when you type
Edit: might be wrong about it linking universally.
This absolutely is not true today, they create links that are absolute and refer to the host of the community in question.
I'm working on a Firefox extension to add a link going to your home instance.
for a while it will result in a lot of seemingly dead links as small communities will appear as 404s until the remote instance has synced.
Or at least that's what i'm seeing occasionally when I try to copy/paste the communites onto my instances /c/ URL.
Making links agnostic is an open PR which will be implemented eventually.
right I was just testing it and it auto fills with absolute path using "!". Using "@" I could only link local communities
