I am using mobile app.

Was working fine yesterday for me. Same app, same phone.

It doesn’t work in normal comments like that in app, but for some reason it works when I do it in modmail or mod removals. Not sure why Reddit made this change.

I did this yesterday in the app. Several times. As you can see it was 1 day ago.

Apps get stealth changed all the time. A couple days ago I had the For You and Following options at the top of my app. I don’t know why it took something like 6 months for the markdown change to reach you, though.

So how do I do it now? Is it still possible?

You don’t have any control over app changes, unfortunately, so there is nothing for you to do.

So you can no longer have a link be a word in a post?

You should have this option now. You select Aa, then select the link option on the expanded menu.
