I don't think it was unintended in the sense that the admins didn't expect these consequences. At least to me, on their posts they seem very aware that what they're doing is very damaging, but they were stuck with choosing between the lesser of two evils, and they choose what was going to keep them more sane for now.

So, I was looking into a thread on lemmy.ml with some community recommendations for reddit refugees, and it seems there isn't a standard way to link communities in an instance-agnostic way?

For a start, it doesn't seem like the posting interface automatically recognizes community links (so if I write /c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml, it automatically becomes a link to that community), so it seems you need to manually format the text as a link. So in order to have /c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml, you need to write [/c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml](/c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml). Is it correct, or is there some straightforward trick I'm missing?

Moreover, it seems like not all communities are accessible from beehaw? Like https://lemmy.ml/c/nomanssky clearly exists, but accessing it from here as /c/nomanssky@lemmy.ml returns an error. Can someone clarify what's happening?
