It looks that way to me too. I created a replacement for ` https://www.digitalocean.com/ → https://m.do.co/c/a5bf212d9a92/` and if `enable markdown linkify ` is on, it doesn’t work, and if it’s off, it does. What I’d really like is for it to re-write the link.

A theme component might be a way to do that.
