It’s not a bug, it’s a missing feature. The !community@instance syntax is not part of any Markdown flavour, so every client has to implement it independently, and it’s possible that it collides with some other kind of token.

howrar@lemmy.ca 18 hours agoMight be a Boost bug, but the link doesn’t include anything past the hyphen.

I didn’t know that this was de facto a client side feature (Lemmy WebUI, Piefed WebUI and my mobile client, Voyager, all support it).
That said, I strongly prefer Piefed style link re-direction; albeit it’s a client side feature just like the relative markdown syntax.

Must be an app bug, but a very unfortunate one as multiple apps seem to be affected. Link works fine for me in Summit, though.

Works fine in Voyager as well

Similarly, Jerboa tries to make @indie-ver.se in the post body into a link to a user profile and also stops at the hyphen.

Interesting, seems like a bug in the client.

I imagine so. I don’t use Bang, but I posted about the behavior to the Bang community, so hopefully they’ll get it straightened out.
