Is it possible for posts to show the domain (TLD and SLD) of link posts?

Use case: I don’t want to watch videos so I want to avoid clicking YouTube links. I would like to know that they are YouTube videos without having my phone spend the next minute trying to open YouTube.

      In Boost for reddit, it was visible right away, without any clicking. It was incredibly convenient. I’d very much like to see this feature too.

      Yes, that information, but without having to long press. If it’s displayed along with the post title, I can quickly see where it goes and skip to the next post if it’s clearly a video. Otherwise, I have to read the title, decide if I’m interested in it, then do a long press, possibly to be disappointed by what I see.

    Yes please! Voyager has this feature too - makes it at-a-glance easy to decide if it’s a source you’d read, and if its a risky click at work or on the train.
