Created a new community, !aom@lemm.ee, for the newly-released Age of Mythology game (aussie.zone)

Created this account so I could create the community. Decided on lemm.ee because my main account is on aussie.zone, which does not allow community creation (and limits its communities to things about Australia). Figured lemm.ee is better than lemmy.world due to the latter's performance/federation issues.

they’ve created a direct link to the community on lemm.ee and named that link !aom@lemm.ee, rather than just typing !aom@lemm.ee

I just used the autocomplete built into Lemmy after typing !aom. It works just fine. If I click it on this account it takes me to https://lemm.ee/c/aom, if I click it on my main account it takes me to https://aussie.zone/c/aom@lemm.ee. Which is the desired behaviour.

Yeah, sorry, Blaze explained after how it happens, so my comment was more critical than it should have been. Anyway, the point of all this extra chat on what should just be some community promo, was that the link format that - it turns out - Lemmy autogens is fine for you, and fine for me, but not for MBIN users (who's solution seems to be proposing an entirely different and untested link format for everyone else to use)
