    it should be more hands-off for the user and the server should silently just do the thing to get the instanced community before sending data back to the client

    Understanding how much data it might be potentially requesting, I’d even accept a “please wait while we load this community” screen that then redirects to the community once its been loaded onto your instance

      This would be closer to my and others expectations on how a web link should work.

      Yeah, that would work as well. I’m sure there are times when there isn’t a community that someone made such a link to, and at those times it should show an error screen, obviously.
