Err.. huh! Is Reddit now conspiring with Google to screw with off-site Fediverse links? (see examples) (lemm.ee)

Near the end of my little 'Euro comics' rant, you may notice how I tried to slip in an offsite link, in this case from my instance, lemm.ee.

Now it looks like it... got blocked, maybe? See the before & after here.

Mateys-- Am I going crazy, or is this something we're going to need to work around, in future?

EDIT: As stated below, re-editing the message (even with the very same link) cleared up the problem. Still, I could see Reddit trying to block content from the Fediverse, the more the FV grows.

Thanks for testing! For some reason, re-pasting the very same link to a different portion of the message cleared up the problem. Weird, but.. okay.

So maybe it was just a glitch, and maybe I was just being paranoid, but the more the FV competes with Reddit, the more I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit tries to bork with links directing to the FV.
