I would maybe say that c/community@instance.com and u/user@instance.com could be better. / is not legal character on email address, but so is of course ! in the front. c/ and u/ would make sense because that is the actual url that is fetched (c/community@instance.com is located in https://instance.com/c/community), so in code just combining these two paths together would generate the actual URL. Also external communities are handled by https://homeinstance/c/community@instance.com, so it would make sense here also, because c/ is already part of the path.
Of course changing it at this point in time of the life cycle is probably a no-go.
Sure about that "not a legal email character" part?

Ok, it seems that I was wrong, standard seems to allow it. So both ! and / are allowed in email
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !community@instance.com
but these solutions would not have saved my clumsy ass in the original case.
If instance would have been fictional furryporn.com and community is called worldnews, and I sent to my grandmother a message containing community url !worldnews@furryporn.com, it would not really matter is it in form of c/worldnews@furryporn.com or with !
