There's a way to make relative links work across instances too I think. Let me find the thread.

I'm not sure if it works for threads so I guess it's time to experiment.
PSA: How to link users & communities so it doesn’t break for other instances
Otherwise the link to the community should work across instances:
Yeah, posts & comments can't work in this way because each instance will have different ID numbers for their federated copy. I'm not even sure how to begin approaching this issue.
I feel like this will eventually need to be addressed. Federated instances has advantages but complications come with it like this example. I don't want to blindly assume there is an easy fix but lemmy has only been around since mid-2019. There are still a lot of features that will be developed.
So you just has to link it a bit like on reddit. But using markdown to make it a link. Smart.
For reference you need to format it like this: [Text that will be shown](/c/community@instance)
Thanks for typing out the proper example! I was afraid it would just turn into another link. 😂
Reading through the other thread it seems to not work on the mobile app, but maybe that's changed.
