This is probably old news, but I didn’t realize before now - if I link to !mbinmeta@gehirneimer.de, Lemmy users will see it as a link to lemmy.example/m/mbinmeta@gehirneimer.de.

Is this something that could potentially be resolved at some point? I get that it’s a bit of a legacy problem from the questionable decision not to follow Lemmy URL structures.

I guess it could always be fixed on the Lemmy side, but is a fix on the Mbin side of things possible? Since community links from Lemmy work well on Mbin, can’t Mbin links just be federated in the exact same way?

Edit: I observed this in this thread: https://kbin.earth/m/seattle@lemmy.world/t/1109670 https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/33165045

Apparently it federates well in this thread. Might be related to where the community is hosted?

It could also be that it happens when linking communities that the Lemmy instance hosting the community has not yet federated with.

    I went to great lengths to parse lemmy community links specifically correct in mbin.

    As far as I know I imolemented the links on mbin side as the plaintext !community@alserver.tld. If that is not the case I’d love to see examples where it went wrong.

      It was a strange scenario.

      1. I initially wrote the community name wrong, with @ instead of !, and edited the post to correct it
      2. Nobody on kbin.earth follows the mentioned community
      3. Nobody on Lemmy.world follows the mentioned community

      I suspect Mbin treats the mention of “unknown” communities differently.
