I can't open some communities in Boost? (bookwormstory.social)

As someone trying small instance I have to explore other instances using good old browser and then try to open it in Boost. For some reason sometimes it just doesn't work, even for communities that are in lemmy.world! Ones I have tried and failed are:

https://lemmy.world/c/me_irl

https://lemmy.film/c/moviesandtv

https://lemmy.world/c/linux_gaming

https://programming.dev/c/programmer_humor

And some others I may have forgotten. For comparison, if you click https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy it should correctly open in Boost instead of browser.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !me_irl@lemmy.world, !moviesandtv@lemmy.film, !linux_gaming@lemmy.world, !programmer_humor@programming.dev, !asklemmy@lemmy.ml

For me it was the other way around. I often had to use the complete url to the community including https:// for the discovery to work.

These should work within Boost.
