Your link goes to lemmy.world, which only works for users on lemmy.world. For everyone else who doesn’t use lemmy.world, you just get to lemmy.world where you are not logged in. So you need that kind of link to go to the community while still staying on your own instance.
Does my link not work for you?
Edit: The link does not in fact work as I thought it would. I learned something about the Fediverse today.

It’s like if I linked to the Feddit.dk community like this instead of like this: !fedditdk@feddit.dk
I’m still learning Lemmy in particular and federation in general and your comment is very helpful, thank you
You’re welcome! :)
Oh wow I never realized that. I’ll keep that in mind in the future.
