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 [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) 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 [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]), and then render that as a link
