Not sure if it's a typo or a front-end rendering issue. But I see your link wrong. The correct one would be:
!pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com

For lemm.ee:
https://lemm.ee/c/pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com

OK, thanks! I must have mangled it when I pasted it.

How did you get lemm.ee to connect to it? I cannot open it on my instance; it just gives me "The server returned this error: couldnt_find_community." When I try to run a search it just brings up these comments. I think the URL format in the community name is breaking Lemmy, but clearly it worked on your instance so I'm confused.

This URL loads but gives me that error: https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com

This link doesn't work correctly: !pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com

I didn't do anything special, just typed the correctly fomatted link (as yours).

It doesn't work on bookwormstory.social either (pointed out here). Being it a new feature, bugs are expected.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !pfefferle@lemmy.sdf.org

Good try, bot. Good try.

Huh it works on lemm.ee, lemmy.ca, and even the canonical instance .ml. But not on bookwormstory.social.
I wonder why that would be? But also, I'm not really worried. Maybe 0.19.0 will fix whatever's broken.
