If you're writing a website link in a post or profile on Mastodon, it's important to include the https:// at the beginning as this makes the link clickable.
If you write the link without https:// then it just appears as normal text and people won't be able to click it open.
NERDY BONUS TIP: Mastodon also supports several rare non-web types of link including gemini:// dat:// dweb:// gopher:// ipfs:// and ssb://. The "Gemini" link type is nothing to do with AI or Google. -

Gemini is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)
Gopher is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)
IPFS is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System
SSB is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Scuttlebutt
I think DWEB relates to decentralised web projects.
