Links in comments aren't showing up correctly
I've tried using the link option when posting comments and the links never come out right. If i try making the display text different than the link, it seems to be unusable Ex:
If I make the display text the same as the link, then it is clickable, but not highlighted and underlined Ex:
Boost adds an exclamation mark to the start of links. That's only if you're linking to an image. If it's to a webpage you remove the !
This is default. Doesn't work because Lemmy thinks this should be an image.
After manually removing the '!'

Edit: you also need the 'https://' bit too apparently
Thanks for the help btw!
There is already a separate button to post an image though. Make the link button just for website links
Saw another comment that it might be the "!" that the link option placed before the text in brackets. So trying that here

If this is the case, can we modify the app to remove that?
Removed the ! before markdown links. Thanks for reporting
