Feature Request: Go to a community using the search bar (self.alexandrite)

At the moment, it's difficult to go to a community based on its link. For example, if I paste https://programming.dev/c/game_design into the search box, it shows some search results that mention that community, but no way to actually get there. I think the link to the community should appear prominently in the search results, or, even better, if you search for a community link, it should directly take you to that community. In my example, it would take me to https://a.lemmy.world/programming.dev/c/game_design

Yep, this is a bug I'm aware of, for what it's worth there's also an issue on Github someone reported this in. You can track it here.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
