I tried doing /c/community just like in reddit but it won’t turn into a link. Is it some missing feature or am I missing something?

    You need to type it with an exclamation mark in front. Lemmy will then provide you a dropdown of it’s communities, and upon selection convert it into a markdown link:

    !fediverse becomes
    [!fediverse@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse) 
    

    which is shown as a link like this !fediverse@lemmy.world

      One thing I love with Lemmy is that new comments popup while I’m writing a reply. Saved me from posting a duplicate answer right now.

        Yes ! I can’t believe Reddit never added this feature years ago… like features that were in RES. Oh well, too late now.

        Yep! You can do this with the format:

        /c/<community>@lemmy.world
        

        e.g.

        [fediverse@lemmy.world](/c/fediverse@lemmy.world)
        

        fediverse@lemmy.world

        I’ve been seeing it used in a couple places, already, actually.

      That’s so cool! Where does the community list come from? Is the list of the communities I’m subscribed to?
