✅

Declare a class method like this:

class Post(models.Model):
    actualPost = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def get_link(self):
        if self.actualPost and '@' in self.actualPost:
            return self.actualPost.split('@', 1)[1]
        return None

and in the template

{% for post in post_list %}
    {% if post.get_link %}
        <a href="/{{ post.get_link }}/">Blah </a>
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
