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/[email protected])
[My User](/u/[email protected])
You’re welcome!
I have nothing to add, I’ve just been summoned. It’s confusing, though. I’m not sure anything works consistently in a way that anyone wants across apps and web-ui right now. If people decide on a best-practice, I’d like to read about it in docs or a sticky post. The official docs that show post/comment syntax are silent on referencing communities and mentioning users. This could be an opportunity for a first PR to improve them if someone figures out the best practice.
