I think this occurs because people haven't gotten used to linking to communities on other instances properly.

They usually post the direct link like beehaw.org/c/technology . Instead they should start using the federated link which is more instance agnostic like this: /c/[email protected] . This link will load the community from your instance.

FWIW, on a browser the /c/technology link you posted isn’t a hyperlink, so I can’t actually interact with it. It doesn’t work in mlem either.

For now, as a workaround, you can manually make it a hyperlink: /c/[email protected]

Just use [/c/[email protected]](/c/[email protected]). This should open correctly on all instances.
