Hi,

Sorry if this has been posted before.

Currently, it seems Avalon does not understand links like !community@instan.ce is a link to a community, but treats it as an email address. Clicking on it starts an email draft to community@instan.ce.

Expected result when clicking would rather be to view the community. I guess the app is blind to the !?

    Hi! Thank you for the reply. The link in your comment does indeed work.

    Try opening this comment in Avelon: https://lemm.ee/comment/1870509

    It contains a community link that does not work in Avelon. Does work in some other apps. I’ll try writing it on an emtpy line next in this comment, to test if Avelon then recognizes it. That is, if it’s something in the surrounding text in the linked comment that might be the issue.

      Right. So the link to the community on the standalone line works. The same link within the chunk of text in the previously linked comment does not. Next, trying to link it inline here. !gentoo@lemm.ee

        That also worked. Let’s see if it is an exclamation mark prior to the link that throws it off! Community link next: !gentoo@lemm.ee And some other text that follows.

          Still worked. (There were some other special characters as well, in the linked comment. Like parenthesis.) Could that be it? Otherwise, it is something else! Testing… !gentoo@lemm.ee (Obviously, doesn’t matter which community is linked. But sticking to it!) :-) This is the last thing I’m trying.

            The community link in the comment I’m replying to now is broken in Avelon, but does work in, say, Voyager. So something about the surrounding (non-linking) exclamation marks or parenthesis breaks the community-link identification mechanism. Ping @evgiz@lemm.ee

              Awesome, thank you. I’ll use this example to sort out whats wrong with my checker. Seems to be something about the surrounding text, yeah
