    i see what happened.

    you typed [www.myvote.wi.gov](www.myvote.wi.gov) in your comment’s source. for it to register as a URL you have to put https before the link inside the parentheses: [www.myvote.wi.gov](https://www.myvote.wi.gov).

    for me it goes to https://pawb.social/post/www.myvote.wi.gov (my instance, error: couldnt_find_post)

    in your comment’s source it is written [www.myvote.wi.gov](www.myvote.wi.gov), which shouldn’t behave like this. looks like a lemmy bug maybe?

    i have two theories:

    1. the bug is related to typing a link directly, as in pasting a link in the comment, like example.com (i typed it without brackets for a name or parentheses for a URL)

    or

    2. it’s related to links explicitly starting with www, such as what you linked.

    for testing purposes:

    www.myvote.wi.gov

    www.myvote.wi.gov

    you can report lemmy issues at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues. i searched on there to see if it was already reported but couldn’t find anything, though if you want to i’d recommend searching.

      Hey thanks, I changed it and that did the trick.

      I guess it makes sense that would be a thing. I’m so used to everything accommodating for that lack, though lol
