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:

Wikipedia

If I make the display text the same as the link, then it is clickable, but not highlighted and underlined Ex:

www.wikipedia.org

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.
www.wikipedia.org

After manually removing the '!'
www.wikipedia.org

Edit: you also need the 'https://' bit too apparently

There is already a separate button to post an image though. Make the link button just for website links
