One annoying thing I noticed on Lemmy is that is someone mentions a Community and links to it, that link usually just opens up the “home” instance of that community. While I actually wanted to see it on my instance so I can join it an participate. What is the proper way to do it? Or is there some browser plugin that makes that easier?

You remove the instance’s domain name from the URL, the same way you remove
reddit.com
when linking to subreddits. You then append it at the end of the URL with an@
. For example,https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy
-->/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
EDIT: Starting with Lemmy 0.18.0, you won’t need to do this manually anymore!
