    In Alexandrite, is there a way to link to users or communities other than typing the link manually using markdown syntax? For example, in the official Lemmy frontend, typing ! begins a search for matching community names; I don’t know if there is similar functionality for usernames.

      As far as I know, no, there’s no autocomplete for that. But you don’t have to write the whole link, just writing the community name (like !asklemmy@lemmy.ml) or the user (like @TurboLag@lemmings.world) and it should turn them into links automatically.

        Ah, interesting! They do both turn into links on Alexandrite, but on the official frontend and on Photon only the community does (the user stays as plain text).

          That’s weird, because that’s the official way to tag someone. So even if it doesn’t turn into a link, the user should be notified.
