Okay I learned a few things, though they may be specific to Memmy.

1. The /c/community@instance works, and opens the links in the app, rather than browser
2. If you have text in front of your link, it doesn’t work. Might be a Memmy issue.
3. I need to test, but I think #2 is responsible for the Null errors I’ve been getting when text is hyperlinked.

Text testing #3 - confirmed, this returns the Null error.

Now without prior text

test - this also didn’t work

test! - using a link beginning with ! Also didn’t work. Hmm.

Edit from browser: Hyperlinked text isn’t working properly in Memmy

Those opened in the in app browser on Memmy. Testing here

/c/amateur_radio@lemmy.radio

Thanks for the explainer! Doing some testing cause your example didn’t hyperlink on Memmy

c/tech@pawb.social /c/tech@pawb.social !c/tech@pawb.social !tech@pawb.social test text /c/tech@pawb.social /c/Lemmy@lemmy.ml

Weird. Not sure when your example didn’t link, because it did in my comment ¯\(ツ)/¯

Edit: I’m back on browser. Everything that hyperlinked works properly. It’s a Memmy issue

Do you mind giving a short explainer of proper link formatting? I was struggling with this just a little bit ago

I don’t have a coding background but this was very informative. Thanks for sharing
