I've been thinking that there should be a better shorthand for linking to a community on a specific instances. Something along the lines of giving each instance a shorthand up to 4 characters or something, and then do community links in the format //. So give sh.itjust.works sjw as a shorthand, and /sjw/privacy becomes the community name. I think that would make it easier to remember the one you mean.
The auto completion works quite well
!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com took me six characters to link it
Don't think you're going to see that in every mobile client...Sync doesn't have it for example. I think the benefit is more in remembering than typing, too.
Clients should definitely implement this.
Remembering comes with context. Most of the people already know about hexbear by now
