Why the hell do my links never show up when I post here? 🤔 I included the Wikipedia URL in the post, but it's not there now. Extremely frustrating.
EDIT: I just figured it out. If you paste a URL (or rather, when I paste a URL in my particular browser on my particular PC), Lemmy doesn't detect that text has been entered into the textbox and so treats it as blank, that is until you manually add/remove a character. Only when you see suggested thread titles appear do you know the URL has been detected and that you're ready to post.
