    Why not trigger it when someone types “/c/”. Using an exclamation mark isn’t intuitive. BTW, I can’t get it to work.

      /c/ (and kbin’s /m/) is an implementation detail, the “real” community names all start with !

      well, technically they’re just fancy user accounts which means they start with @, but that’s even more obscure an implementation detail, especially with lemmy allowing both a user and community to have the same name
