Formatting links to remote communities? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

How do I format a link to a remote lemmy community that allows someone to subscribe to it directly from their own instance?

An example of such a post is here https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/4711. This is a post made for a community on mander.xyz, posted to lemmy.ml and viewed through my instance blahaj.zone.

Whichever instance you view it on, the link formats so that you can subscribe to it directly from the instance you are viewing it on.

I’ve tried using /c/communityname formatting, but that doesn’t seem to work.

If you know what their instance is, you can do:

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/[email protected]

Right, but then if someone saw the post on lemmy.ml, it would link to my instance, not lemmy.ml.

But if you view the post I linked above directly on lemmy.ml, the link changed to https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] instead of https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/[email protected], so that lemmy.ml users can subscribe directly to it from their own instance.

That's what I'm trying to replicate
