As reported to the lemmy devs here there is no sanity checking of links in posts currently in lemmy. Please be careful in the links you click!

Liftoff shows the domain the link is going to, but not the entire URL. And it only shows up when going to the comments.

Good enough! I'll switch to Liftoff today

EDIT: Liftoff isn't showing any website/url previews for the links in the post or comment text but it's working for primary URLs of posts so it's better than nothing lol

EDIT2: Actually Liftoff doesn't do anything more than Jerboa already does. It seems Boost can show URLs before opening a link but it is closed source.
