Hi there rodents, admins specifically this time,

I don't know if what I'm going to question was intended to be this way, as the lemmy website ui is supposed to work with javascript enabled, or not.

Just 10 minutes ago I read that the federation was enabled so I wanted to try it out.

I found a post from @dess_ds9 and I tried to open its profile. The page opens without a beat, showing its profile, but If I try to click its identifier with javascript disabled, instead of loading https://ds9.lemmy.ml/u/dess_ds9 I'm redirected to https://lemmy.ml/https://ds9.lemmy.ml/u/dess_ds9 .

The same happens with communities.

I noticed this behaviour because I usually navigate the web with javascript disabled. Is it supposed to be this way? If it's not a bug, could it be made to work even without javascript?

Thanks again for your work!
