OP has done something weird with the comment because for me the link comes to lemmy.dbzer0.com/digg.com - both of you have LW home instances so the URL is incorrectly being parsed as an instance link?

I think it loads a community named digg(dot)com on your local instance

The raw comment is this:
[Digg.com](digg.com) didn’t load for me, good start 😅It’s missing the
https://protocol, so the link is assumed to be relative to the current page you’re on. It should have been formatted as[Digg.com](https://digg.com/)and then it’ll look like: Digg.comparaphrand@lemmy.world 3 days ago
You guys were right. I’m on Voyager!

Looks like this is a feature for most markdown parsers. In piefed, the same thing happens. I wrote most of the customizations for parsing markdown, but nothing to create relative links like this except for footnotes. So, it must be the default behavior of the markdown library we are using.
