Hi all!

So, I'm assuming everyone has seen links like https://beehaw.org/c/news and clicked through to find it doesn't work right because it's a different site (I'm assuming a different instance here).

Well, I just stumbled across an interesting feature: if you enter a link in the following format, it works for everyone regardless of instance of origin:

[News](/c/news@beehaw.org)

This does not work on Jerboa. In fact most instance/user/community link in Jerboa are just completely broken.

I'll put up a github issue for it, maybe somebody can look at that
