I have yet to confirm if this is a problem with Glitch Edition generally (and thus if it’s really a LOCAL_DOMAIN thing); I have also not confirmed that other instances can link to us, but I would be very surprised if they can’t (since a local development instance Kibicat Mastodon was able to link to the GlitchCat /about/more).
Mastodon seems to dislike linking to localhost (very reasonable) so testing if LOCAL_DOMAIN links nuke their statuses is fruitless on a local development instance.
Mentions do get processed and attached to the contentless statuses.
On GlitchCat, posting a link to, for example, https://glitch.cat.family/about/more is only possible in plaintext statuses.
