          I think it loads a community named digg(dot)com on your local instance

          Edit: could be a Voyager (mis)feature?

          Edit 2: Jerboa doesn’t even react when clicking that link

            The raw comment is this:

            [Digg.com](digg.com) didn't load for me, good start 😅

            It’s missing the https:// protocol, so the link is assumed to be relative to the current page you’re on. It should have been formatted as

            [Digg.com](https://digg.com/) and then it’ll look like: Digg.com

              Looks like this is a feature for most markdown parsers. In piefed, the same thing happens. I wrote most of the customizations for parsing markdown, but nothing to create relative links like this except for footnotes. So, it must be the default behavior of the markdown library we are using.
