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 !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.

Seems like line 703 of https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/main/src/shared/utils.ts#L703 is the relevant code. I'm away for the weekend so can't do much myself at the moment
