Often, a quick way to link communities is by formatting a hyperlink like this [Visible-text-to-click](/c/community@instance.tld)
For a this example, formatting the text like [this link](/c/main@rblind.com) would create this link that most* people can click on that will bring them to that community.
Ya, I’ve been told that it’s a known bug that they’re working on. I still like it as a reader, but to do any sort of adjustment to your account, such as finding communities and adding them, or interacting with replies to your posts, the website is more useful right now.
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.

Yep, that’s what I’ve found. I’m thinking of scrapping the app in favour of the website tbh, at least for now.

Hopefully it can catch up soon.
Supposedly a few good updates are coming with v0.18, which could be any day now!
That would be great!
It would be nice if you could just type /c/community@instance. Or /m/ as required.
