    My least favorite thing about the Lemmy community is that people hide the URLs.

    Yeah, you can hover on a computer, yeah, you can change the real URL to something else, however

    No bad stop :( You’re supposed to be old people, act like you grew up when people were scared of random poisoned links

      Some clients show link previews. I use voyager and get previews for all the links at the end of each comment with URL and link text shown. That’s especially useful when people add links to a single letter which would be hard to hit otherwise

        You mean Safari right?

        Because I haven’t seen this feature elsewhere, not mobile firefox nor chrome.

          Oh dang really? My only other experience besides Safari is an old Samsung phone that could detect your finger hovering over the screen and preview the link. That was a neat feature.

            My bad, I haven’t used a Samsung phone as of yet.

            Doesn’t Samsung have their own browser?

            Are there any others?

          It works for me on mobile Firefox (version 128.0.3).

          I was going to attach a screenshot, but that doesn’t seem to be working.
