I don't know of any documentation off the top of my head but currently there's
User links: @marsara9@lemmy.word
These will translate to https://<your instance>/u/marsara9@lemmy.world assuming your not on lemmy.word. If you are it will just be https://lemmy.word/u/marsara9.
And community links: [!fediverse@lemmy.world](/c/fediverse@lemmy.world)
These will follow the same pattern but will have /c/ instead of /u/.
There's been proposals to add others but that's all that exists at the moment.
thanks for clarifying, so i guess my other link type is an error on my end somewhere...
The one that begins with https is obviously just a full URL and will take the user directly to that instance rather than staying on their home instance. And the one that starts with /c/ is a relative path. While it might work, if the community/user it points to is on the same server as the user, they might encounter errors as it might try and navigate to https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse@lemmy.world which is undefined (may or may not work).
yeah, the relative ones are always on another instance it seems. if you strip the '/c/' you can hit the '/community' endpoint with the 'comm@inst.ance' part as the name parameter and it returns the community_view for it. works fine.
