    It would be nice if you could just type /c/community@instance. Or /m/ as required.

      When you’re writing a message on the web version, typing ! and the name of the community will bring up a suggestion box.

      Typing !main and selecting the rblind.com instance autocompletes to [!main@rblind.com](https://rblind.com/c/main) but that links directly to the instance itself. It needs a bit of formatting though to get it to be instance-agnostic.

      There’s a big discussion on Github on how to handle links, because as mentioned, the /c/ won’t work for kbin users.

      I personally think it should link the instance directly, as it already does, and have a second link in the formatting we mentioned for the local instance link.
