For example, this comment links to another community on another instance, but when clicked on, you’re not actually able to interact with anything on that community, because you’re suddenly not logged in.
It’s doesn’t function like linking to a subreddit, and I understand that that’s because of federation, but is there a better way of doing this? It seems… very stupid that linking to a page would suddenly “log you out” for all intents and purposes, while searching that same community wouldn’t.
Does this make sense?
Coupled with the new rendering of links, into what I believe are instance agnostic formats for
0.18, the system seems it will to work well.Removed by mod

Yep, that happens when you select it from the dropdown box. So it’s the dropdown box that is making non-agnostic links to the host, however 0.18 ignores this and makes an agnostic link based on the text.
