      From my understanding, it’s an indicator that differentiates Lemmy links from email addresses.

      If you follow the link conventions, !technology@beehaw.org should link to a Lemmy community, rather than open a new email compose window.

        Do you know if it is normal that Jerboa crashes when trying to open Lemmy links? I assume on desktop it works correctly, but I haven’t used it as much.

          I remember it working properly for me earlier but when I clicked the link in the comment you replied to, jerboa crashed for me too. maybe a regression or just something about this link causing a problem

        Whould be nice to have a similar syntax that links that community as reflected in the current user’s current instance.

          There is one but you gotta manually apply it atm and it doesnt work on the android app at least. if you link to “/c/community@instance.com” and have it as a hyperlink it will go to that community from your instance. Thats what the person you replied to did, if you check their comments source
