GOODBYE RELATIVE LINKS!!!

It is now enough to simply write the name of a community/magazine in the !name@instan.ce format, and lemmy will convert that into a clickable local link for each users instance, so they never get taken off-instance in a manner especially confusing to new users.

Examples:

!gameart@sopuli.xyz

!titanfall@lemmy.world

!anime_irl@lemmy.ml

!Fediverse@kbin.social

If you are on an instance now running 0.18.0, you’ll see four clickable links. These are not relative markdown links, I simply wrote the name of the communities in plain-text.

    Yes, it works with kbin mags too, from lemmy.

    Kbin would have to be updated, too, to be able to do the same thing.
