      If you use a mobile client thats probably the cause. On voyager they look the same to me as well.

      The apps have been heavily developed to fix the instance interoperability quirks, but a lot of users are on web where the ! link works better.

      If you are already on web version then idk. My info might be outdated.

        A web client is still a client that can do custom logic for clicking links or rewrite them when processing markdown. I don’t know if popular web clients for either Lemmy or kbin do that, but they sure could!

          Thats true, and all this stuff might just be outdated info :) its entirely possible the web clients have been adapted, and we just aren’t aware of it because… who knows everything?
