On reddit I could do something like r/subname and it would just work. How do I do that on Lemmy?

Here's a clickable example for this community:

!asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I think Lemmy needs to take a page from Reddit's book and automatically link communities with something like "c/asklemmy"

This would only possible for the current instance, though. Since Lemmy is a federated service it is relevant to always provide the instance URL, too. Not everyone uses !asklemmy@lemmy.ml at lemmy.ml.

A feature similar to RES, maybe one that pulls from your subscriptions, would be nice. Start typing the name of a community and it suggests some autofill options formatted in a way that folks from other instances can click on it easily.

Or your federated instances
