On Piefed (and I think lemmy?) it doesn’t display the link properly if I don’t have that extra \ (it’s there to cancel out the final parenthesis, so that the markdown knows it’s part of the link)

Not sure if it is correctly rendered by all clients, but you can try wrapping the links in < and >.

... becomes

It is referred to as autolinks in the CommonMark specification.
