Heres how to add a hot link to your Instagram or Etsy page in Reddit.
When asked for a link to your Instagram or Etsy shop, it’s far more likely that someone will actually click on it if you have a direct link. Here’s how.
The first part will be your Instagram name or shop name in [brackets] without any spaces. Like this: [EllsTrek]
The second part will follow the first part on the same line, without any spaces between them. The second part is your Instagram URL (not the @name) or your Etsy URL. You’ll put the URL in (parentheses) without any spaces. Like this: (https://www.instagram.com/ellstrek/)
When you put parts 1 and 2 together, this is how is appears on your posted Reddit comment:

FYI: this doesn’t work in profiles.
Edit: thank you for the three awards...that warmed my heart! 😃

On mobile when replying you can also just tap the chain link looking thing on the left side above your keyboard. Type your URL and then then the word/phrase you would like to appear in blue as the link.
Wow! Totally works. Thank you for sharing. :)
Awesome tip!
