Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
On desktop, it is slightly frustrating to check the instance a user, community, or link points to because it needs to be hovered over. It is significantly more frustrating when browsing on a mobile device, because (at least on Android) the link needs to be long-pressed to display the full URL.

Describe the solution you'd like
A checkbox in the user settings that disables stylized names and instead shows the fully qualified user, community, or link. It could potentially be split into multiple checkboxes for finer-grained control.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Custom CSS or a userscript could probably achieve the same goal, but would be difficult to maintain, may need to be adjusted on a per-instance basis, and would be a higher barrier to entry to less-technical folks.
I also tried the "Ignore magazines' custom CSS" option in settings but it did not address the issue.

Additional context
Here are some screenshots with a mockup of the desired behavior, taken from posts viewed on fedia.io.
