That’s a known bug [Discobot didn't recognize link in tutorial](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discobot-didnt-recognize-link-in-tutorial/229146)

But discobot suggests skipping after 2 fails without any customization:

Tutorial:

1. **Bookmark:** Remove “bookmark” from `post menu`, set `max bookmarks per day` to 0
2. **Onebox:** Set max oneboxes per post to 0 (after some posts where it fails it suggests to use skip)
3. **Mention:** Set `max mentions per post` to 0 (replying without an @mention also triggers the skip information after 2 posts, but who would try that?)
4. **Quote:** Disabling `default other enable quoting` breaks a part of “Select the text of whichever ↑ quote you prefer, and then press the **Quote** button that pops up over your selection – or the **Reply** button at the bottom of this post.” because there is no quote button, but replying works.
5. **Image upload:** Removing all? extensions from `authorized extensions` or disabling `embedded media post allowed groups`

Good news: disabling `enable emoji` does not break the tutorial, the step is skipped.

Advanced tutorial:

1. **Edit:** `edit post allowed groups` which exclude the user or removing “Edit” from `post menu`, also a very short (tl2) post edit time limit makes it challenging
2. **Delete:** Removing “delete” from `post menu`, set `max post deletions per day` and/or `max post deletions per minute` to 0
3. **Undelete:** `delete removed posts after` set to 0 makes it more difficult, because the post disappears on reload.

I haven’t checked the next steps
