I have the suspicion that there are some third party clients out there that do this automatically.
And to be honest, given how flaky federated community links on Lemmy often are, I can understand people preferring to "hardcode" a link they know working instead of directing most people to a "this community can not be found" page half of the time.
Lemmy-ui does it by default. I don't know why, maybe it's for other activitypub software that won't understand lemmy syntax.
Regardless of the reason, I feel that rant. It could have been simple and straightforward, but no, f u, you'll do regex instead.
