Yes. For example, https://Your.Instance/c/gaming@beehaw.org

For both users and communities, it’s always name@domain

I think discoverability tools can help with this. If the community browser was improved and integrated into the web-ui and app, that would greatly simplify things.

Also, visiting a federated URL of a community never accessed before should result in a short loading icon while your instance loads the content, not a 404 error
