Maybe a pull request can be made to change the auto fill behaviour. At least in the browser, start typing !technology and it will display a list of the technology communities. Unfortunately, selecting one, !technology@beehaw.org for example, autofills to [!technology@beehaw.org](https://beehaw.org/c/technology). This method opens up the Beehaw instance directly.
Maybe it should autofill !technology@beehaw.org to [!technology@beehaw.org](/c/technology@beehaw.org). This method opens the community through your current instance.
For now, as a workaround, you can manually make it a hyperlink: /c/technology@beehaw.org
Just use
[/c/technology@beehaw.org](/c/technology@beehaw.org). This should open correctly on all instances.Maybe a pull request can be made to change the auto fill behaviour. At least in the browser, start typing

Yep, that worked. Hopefully new users start to learn these tricks.
