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.

Browsers nowadays almost start to approach the complexity of an OS with sandboxed tabs, JavaScript engine and plugin engine. We should've never allowed google to get so much into our lives.

Edit: forgot the HTML and CSS interpreters and then there's how it all interacts, and there might still be parts that I'm not familiar with.
