You can make those links more universal like this:
[scary stuffs](/c/lemmyscareyou@lemmy.world) → scary stuffs [writing things](/c/writingprompt@lemmy.ca) → writing things
This format will help people on different Lemmy instances get to these communities on their instances’ view of them.
Edited to add: This will not make links that work between Lemmy and Kbin, because Kbin uses /m/ for “magazines” whereas Lemmy uses /c/ for “communities”.
The only reason I haven’t been doing it that way is I’ve read feedback from folks on apps that those links don’t consistently work for them, so for remote instance communities I’ve been trying to just provide the raw URL instead in hopes that it may help.
There should probably be a standardized link format that all frontends can turn into a correctly formatted link. The ones I posted should work for people using a regular web browser.
If you’re into spooky stories, you might keep an eye on [email protected] for scary story prompts. It’s not gotten going just yet, but it might!
There’s also https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] with a few prompts already there but no one’s run with any yet.
