you typed [www.myvote.wi.gov](www.myvote.wi.gov) in your comment’s source. for it to register as a URL you have to put https before the link inside the parentheses: [www.myvote.wi.gov](https://www.myvote.wi.gov).
in your comment’s source it is written [www.myvote.wi.gov](www.myvote.wi.gov), which shouldn’t behave like this. looks like a lemmy bug maybe?
i have two theories:
1. the bug is related to typing a link directly, as in pasting a link in the comment, like example.com (i typed it without brackets for a name or parentheses for a URL)
or
2. it’s related to links explicitly starting with www, such as what you linked.
you can report lemmy issues at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues. i searched on there to see if it was already reported but couldn’t find anything, though if you want to i’d recommend searching.
Hi, your link (the actual link, not the link text) is to https://www.reddit.comwww.myvote.wi.gov .
So you went somewhere different than I did… weird…
For me it comes up https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/www.myvote.wi.gov
I typed it in though… the link and link text are the same, so that shouldn’t happen.
i see what happened.

I guess it makes sense that would be a thing. I’m so used to everything accommodating for that lack, though lol
