So if its just a URL without the []() syntax it would be, perhaps green, and links with it could stay blue. Good semantic to avoid spam or malware links.

Anyway, have any of you seen today's XKCD? https://xkcd.com/3104

The link preview stuff in comments solves that problem. Itโ€™s not in posts though similar to apollo, only comments. It could be added to posts, maybe as a preference.

Edit: another idea is a pop to confirm location on click if URL-like label doesnโ€™t match domain of actual url.

I like the idea in the edit more honestly. My only concern is that detecting a URL in the text part might be hard. Especially with a malicious user there could be invisible Unicode characters.

It'd also be nice if the link preview had a setting to put it under the paragraph with the link instead of at the bottom. A bit unweildy for some longer posts/comments.
