I have done this accidentally a lot but if you make an error like this

This is a sentence.be happy about another sentence.

…at least in my lemmy client it automatically becomes a link.

I am not confident this is an issue but also I have noticed it and wanted to ask.

    I wish the default Lemmy client wouldn’t interpret text as a URL so aggressively. The workaround is to preface the period with a backslash, like so: sentence\.be

    Relatedly, when I post raw links, I sandwich them in < & >, because sometimes the client won’t interpret the text aggressively enough such that some of the (usually long) URL fails to be included. The angle brackets don’t get rendered. Example: https://github.com/lemmynet/lemmy-markdown-it-plugins
