    sounds like a sync issue. federated links don’t direct you away from your instance so you can actually interact with the communities being linked to no matter what activity pub software you’re using.

    Lemmy users have a bad habit of using local links which are next to useless unless you’re on the same instance.

      Shouldn’t the ‘@’ at the start of those be ‘!’ instead? I thought ‘@’ was for users and ‘!’ for Communities

        ! is a lemmy thing and sends you to the original url, @ is a fediverse thing and sends you to the linked community on your own instance so you can actually interact with it.

          Voyager tries to send me to the user with that id, not the community. It seems there are differences.

          ! links worked on multiple mobile apps (at least Eternity and Thunder) for me, can’t say the same of the @ kind

          ! Works for all Lemmy apps but @ doesn’t

      They also do not work in Voyager and in the browser they are not even links
