This seems to be a good topic to plug my GitHub issue that would make !technology@beehaw.org correct clickable links with no extra effort on the users part. I even broke down how to implement that change in the codebase!

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

A "link community" button in the formatting bar below the comment box would be ideal.
The best way is to use relative links, such as !technology@beehaw.org
What I did there was simply [!technology@beehaw.org](/c/technology@beehaw.org). This link doesn't start with the protocol and site, but instead assumes the current site, and starts with /c/my_comunity@my_site.tld, meaning it will be routed to the same instance.
This will probably not work for those on Kbin, since their communities (magazines) don't start with /c/, but rather with /m/. If anyone knows a good way for this to work for both, I'd be glad to adopt that myself going forward.
So if I copy the pink text it should work if I understand correctly?
It does, thank you!
In my phone, for some reason, Jerboa crashes when I tap your link.
That's a known bug in Jerboa. It's already been reported and the dev acknowledged it.
For kbin at least, there's currently a Firefox add-on that adds an icon next to any full or relative links that sends them to the corresponding kbin magazine version of the lemme community.
With Lemmy it's !technology@beehaw.org (do Lemmy users see this as "!technology"?)
From kbin it's the same but with an @. @technology (@technology@ beehaw.org)
IDK how others have search set up. There may not be a way
I'm not sure that's correct. When I click your first link, it's going to https://kbin.social/m/[!technology@beehaw.org](/c/technology@beehaw.org). What OP wants is a way to post the link and (in my case) go to https://melly.0x-ia.moe/c/technology@beehaw.org
Relative links seem to be the best way to accomplish what you’re looking to do. So, in your example, it’s /c/x@y.org.
