      Thank you.

      I was not aware of a benefit to link this way outside of it helping you search while you type.

      Can you tell me why this is better to use in a Lemmy post?

      Does the other type of link not work?

        The type you used links to a specific instance, which for most people won’t be the one they are logged in at. The ! link is universal, it will go to that community on whatever instance (or app) the user is using.

        I really wish the devs had come up with something similar for posts/comments, but unfortunately they failed to do so.

      More frontends need to showcase this method of linking communities. I always forget the syntax.

    “He was shot at by ICE, then wrongfully accused. His nightmare had only just begun… suddenly he was back in highschool, except he wasn’t wearing pants. And then he was eaten by a couch. His parents told him they got divorced because he was such a bad kid, and all of his teeth fell out. It was all the nightmares he’d ever had, all at once.”
