You can make those links more universal like this:

[scary stuffs](/c/lemmyscareyou@lemmy.world)scary stuffs
[writing things](/c/writingprompt@lemmy.ca)writing things

This format will help people on different Lemmy instances get to these communities on their instances' view of them.


Edited to add: This will not make links that work between Lemmy and Kbin, because Kbin uses /m/ for "magazines" whereas Lemmy uses /c/ for "communities".

Thanks!

The only reason I haven't been doing it that way is I've read feedback from folks on apps that those links don't consistently work for them, so for remote instance communities I've been trying to just provide the raw URL instead in hopes that it may help.

There should probably be a standardized link format that all frontends can turn into a correctly formatted link. The ones I posted should work for people using a regular web browser.
