Not directly - somebody could come here and view the link pointing there, but kotakuinaction.win uses a no-referrer policy so the request does not inform Reddit that you are following a link.
When your browser makes an HTTP request, it may optionally include a referrer URL. This allows servers to treat requests differently based on what webpage they're being linked from (like supporting embedded images on your website but not supporting bandwidth leeching), provides info about where your webpage is getting attention, etc.
If you look at the source code for this page, you will find a pair of meta tags in the header:
<meta name="referrer" content="never">
<meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer">
As far as I know the first one doesn't do anything, but the second tells your browser that any links on this webpage should not include that referrer information. Checking the request header confirms that the referrer was not included.

Wow, love that you know more than our "chief janny", about that...
Trés amusing, if I do say so myself.
Sorry Dom, but you're being a pain in the arse, here. And I do so love antagonising you when you are being exactly that... rolls eyes
Did you reply to yourself without changing accounts??
I hadn't heard of that, how does it work?
