PSA: How to link users & communities so it doesn't break for other instances (lemmy.reckless.dev)

Hi all!

So, I'm assuming everyone has seen links like https://beehaw.org/c/news and clicked through to find it doesn't work right because it's a different site (I'm assuming a different instance here).

Well, I just stumbled across an interesting feature: if you enter a link in the following format, it works for everyone regardless of instance of origin:

[News](/c/news@beehaw.org)

News

[My User](/u/barbarian@lemmy.reckless.dev)

Sorry OP, but your links don't work for me. Reading this on kbin and all your links are 404'ing.
