How do I reference another community on my or another instance? (lemmy.ca)

On reddit if I wanted to refer to a subreddit I'd type /r/oneOrangeBraincell/ and that would get turned into a link. What's the lemmy equivalent?

That is not true. It will fail with a cryptic error message on all instances that have never searched for [email protected], and it will fail for Mastodon users. Those are just the ones we’ve discovered so far.

On Voyager, I need to tap it, get the cryptic error message, then refresh, and it works.

Annoying, but for free alpha software, I'm not going to complain too much.

Just refresh or go back and click the link again and it should work. It's only when it's the first time accessing. At least for me.
