I suggest the above format over links.
Why is it preferable?
Clickability.

It allows other instances to click your link without leaving their instance.

It is, but it opens in a browser instead of the app if using an app(maybe some apps handle it better than others though)

Formatting it like they did allows people to click through while staying on their home instance.
