  It’s how you’re supposed to make links. I’ve tried a lot to fix people’s messed up links for them in photon, but it ends up breaking other stuff

    It’s how you’re supposed to make links.

    So which one, the Photon’s way (I guess).

    Should the Lemmy-ui change the way it creates links so that those can be used by other front-ends?

      Well links are supposed to be just !community@instance.url, but for some reason people keep making it an actual markdown link which is not what you’re supposed to do. It’s like Reddit’s r/community. You dont need a markdown link.

        If my link in the OP was wrong, I just got it by clicking on the community name in the dropdown suggestion.

        If that’s an issue, probably something to report to lemmy ui
