While this isn't strictly a markdown issue, it is slightly related. Link domain indicators are handled specially for Reddit, and they probably shouldn't be.

This is a link to a Lemmy post. Sync appends (lemmy.world) after it.

This is a link to a Reddit post. Sync appends (/comments/) after it.

This is a link to an old.reddit post. Sync appends (/comments/) after it.

This is a link to a Lemmy profile. Sync appends (lemmy.world) after it.

This is a link to a Reddit profile. Sync appends (u/ljdawson) after it.

I acknowledge that there would be technical difficulties in trying to make Sync identify ActivityPub users and posts, and the current implementation of showing the domain name is good, in my opinion.

Reddit links should probably display the Reddit domain name, however. These links are external to Sync and would open a new browser page, and it's more informative for the user to know the domain of the link they are opening.
