I initially wondered because I’d seen a comment written after this post which had a URL, but no link. I’ve found the auto-linking works just fine for me though.
Not true. The markdown editor also autolinks, and it does so on the server-side, so greaterwrong should also be good (unless they send HTML directly, in which case it won’t work).
We implemented the markdown editor autolinking a few weeks ago, since it was literally just adding a single option to our markdown parser.
The latter, but it applies immediately when you type it (rather than waiting until you click Submit), so it won’t happen without you noticing.

Possibly the comment was from greaterwrong, or maybe markdown editor? (I’m not sure how either of those currently handle links)
Neither of those will autolink. Autolinking is handled at the UI level, in the default (WYSIWYG/draftjs) editor only.
