You just simply send a random untrusted link. And we are currently VERY harsh on random links send here. If its youtube yeah of course we know its a video. A link to google yeah its a google. But a random link we as an admin dont want to check whats in there and we will just remove it, if we cant determine otherwise it. ( the link is just a java maven repository )
If its a common known website ( like youtube, instagram, imgur… ) then its all good not to say anything but if you do a neiche or a unknown link to a platform only few people know, it should be clarified where and what it leads to. In your case a forum post about a discussion about you and someone else.
Please describe your links, why and what you linked. Next time you could be banned, removed or even the url gets blacklisted.
On a community level or a site level? I’m confused, this is the first time I’ve seen anyone told that (it’s always relevant if wondering).

Do you have a list of automatic trusted sites?

Does the commonality factor exclude being able to link to scattered parts of the fediverse (which is not too common yet)?
No, because there are BAD fediverse parts and if you dont warn before it or its a weird url, then describe it.
