I’m not sure, how would that even work if they haven’t provided the link?

If they link directly to {instance}/c/{community} but not to !{community}@{instance} it can chime in with that second thing.
Most people link to something, but they don’t always link to the thing that works everywhere.

There used to be one - https://lemmings.world/u/communitylinkfixer

If you make a new one, please consider limiting it to just this community (and maybe communitypromo), and to not translating a link if the OP has also already provided a ! one, and to not translating links inside code blocks.
Drive-by bots can seem easy to make, but the problem is that they can be a bit too easy, and then end up as yet another annoying one.
