  So, the syntax is:

  !truegaming@kbin.social
  

  That yields:

  !truegaming@kbin.social

  On lemmy instances, the visible text is “!truegaming@kbin.social”.

  On kbin instances – and I really think that this should be changed – the instance renders the visible text to be “!truegaming”.

  Both still create a valid link to it if you use the syntax with the appended “@instancename”. Just on kbin, you don’t get to see what someone actually typed. You can hover the mouse over it to see the instance to which it’s linking.

    On kbin instances…the instance renders the visible text to be “!” and then “truegaming”

    Holy shit that is so bad. Like, just an inexcusably awful user experience, that cannot possibly have any effect but to cause confusion.

    Perfect thank you! I bounce between Memmy app and mobile version of kbin so I get turned around a lot.

    !truegaming. Bam
