Hey, can anyone tell me how to do just an @ link (without the full URL) to another instance in your bio? I've definitely seen accounts that have this but I'm not sure how it's done.

@ashlily So, I typed out the full url (@ handle @ instance) (no spaces) of my alt when writing my bio, but it then displays as a live link reading simply “@ handle”. You can see example at bottom of my bio, where I typed my alt as “@ anummabrooke @ Mastodon dot social”.

Hopefully I’m answering the right question? :)

@brooke It sounds like you are except that doesn't happen when I type it out the same way. That was the first thing I tried. :\

@ashlily Well that’s not good. I wonder if there are differences among browsers and/or among apps. I’ve mostly used iOS: Amaroq app, Tootdon app, and Safari.

@brooke I'm just using the website, and have tried it both on glitch.social and cybre.space in Chrome and Safari. No luck. Oh well.

@ashlily It’ll get sorted. Meanwhile, your avi’s tea-sipping game is right on.
