Slide: Some way of differentiating between link types in comments

[yasmara]

EG: A little YouTube icon next to links that open a YouTube video, or an imgur icon for imgur links, etc.

... or a simple full URL below would be fine.

@tasmo If you long press a link it will display the URL

[ccrama]

Yeah long press was the solution to this. An image would be nice, but would cause major lag on some link heavy threads

[SZE2]

Please let the long press show a full link, this is useful where the domain does not tell you what type of content it is...

Example screenshot of a problematic link: http://i.imgur.com/6yIFDKV.png

Thanks!

How do you imagine it being shown? Not much I can do if it's a super long link

[SZE2]

Maybe add a second line that shows the end if the link, and cutoff the middle?

Take this one for example: "https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/03/tell-congress-its-time-move-fastr"

Would show like this:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks...
congress-its-time-move-fastr

And this would also let you see if a long link is directly to content, as you would see a trailing ".jpg" etc.

Added an option where you can show the content type after the link like www.google.com (link) or imgur.com/blah.jpg (image), but it also works if the link has text like "this is an image (image)"!
