It’s called hyperlink tag and it’s the users using them with a custom text.

The extra domain in parenthesis is a feature I automatically added in the markdown parser, so you don’t have to mouse over (or open on mobile) these hyperlinks to know which domain their are linking to.

Thank you for adding that. I can appreciate it now that I am aware it is a feature you've added and was not due to some experiment done by users. Thank you for your efforts!

I do forget about mobile a lot as I've never browsed poal on a phone, and rarely ever browse any web sites at all from a phone.

I apologize also that my usage of "obfuscating' was not correct for what I was meaning. Perhaps 'wrapping' may have been better for describing the link being made to be displayed as text but be clickable instead of being a raw link. Thank you for noting the proper term for that 'insert link as clickable text' function that I was trying to describe.

You're welcome.

I first added icons for hyperlinks to let users know what kind of links they were (website or direct links to images/videos/audio files), and later on thought about adding domains next to them to make it easier for mobile users.
