Before you had to fiddle with the markdown link manually. As of v18, you can just type out the name of a community in the !name@instan.ce format, in plain-text, and it will become a working link.
Currently if the community hasn’t been discovered by your instance then you’ll get a 404 error like I just did, apparently it’s a known thing and you need to search for the community before accessing it, see here - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1335
Is there a special way to make those links? Half of them work, but then others are like an email address. This one didn’t work.

[!community@instance] (/c/community@instance)
!kde@lemmy.kde.social

Ah OK, that one rendered correctly. But just crashes Jerboa, assuming that’s because it has federated yet or something.
They are on lemmy.ml, they are already on v18, same as me with sopuli.xyz.
I am on lemmy.ml and that properly shows up as a link for me. Weird that it doesn’t work for you even though we’re both on lemmy.ml.
