Boost adds an exclamation mark to the start of links. That's only if you're linking to an image. If it's to a webpage you remove the !
This is default. Doesn't work because Lemmy thinks this should be an image.

There is already a separate button to post an image though. Make the link button just for website links

Saw another comment that it might be the "!" that the link option placed before the text in brackets. So trying that here

If this is the case, can we modify the app to remove that?

Removed the ! before markdown links. Thanks for reporting
