You no longer need to make special links for communities. It is magic now. (self.chat)

One of the smaller quality of life improvements in 0.18.1 is now lemmy-ui will look for text that looks like a community like [!community@instance.com](/c/community@instance.com) and automatically links it to your instance's community page for ez subscribing.

So if you just type in a post or comment [!community@instance.com](/c/community@instance.com) it will link to https://beehaw.org/c/community@instance.com when you post it.

If curious, here is the change request that added this feature. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1462

That's correct. The one catch is your instance may not be federating that community. If that happens you will get a 404 page not found when clicking the link.
