Everything after # character in the URL is called an anchor as is not actually being sent to the website server (though can be seen using javascript). The anchor can point to any ID in the HTML of the web page and browser will scroll it into view on page load. You can find the ID of any element using right click -> inspect though not all elements have explicit ids.

Ok so I think I’m the first person in the comments to actually click to read the article, cause I’m gonna say something I’m not seeing.
How did you get it to auto snap to the article comment section?
Didnt realize you could share that and it wouldn’t default to the article.

Some webpages have a bad habit of automatically appending tags or outright changing the URL as you scroll down.

The “#comment” at the end of the URL. It’s a title in HTML that hints to your browser to go there directly.
