Hi,
Short URLs endpoints also provide the AP representation of the object. What was the other fediverse software you used to share the video URL?
There was a fedi link button somewhere on the page for that short URL.
I'm not sure to understand, can you describe the use case of such button?

Akkoma. Works great with the long url, I can reply and reblog. Neither of those things work with just the /w/ version of the URL.

To get the long /videos/watch/ version of the URL, and to get the original instance's version of the URL because additionally, let's say I'm on peer tube and I wanna link to https://peer.tube/w/niisfGPmHx6R8FCSCBvq8Y
, I can't, but the real URL https://diode.zone/videos/watch/ac7a4fc0-2284-4925-8fba-cf9c059652e6
works just fine.
Here is a similar issue on mlmym, which was fixed: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/issues/57
Can you create an issue on Akkoma bug tracker and paste the issue URL?
I'm surprised that Akkoma doesn't seem to follow AP redirects. It would be much easier for users if Akkoma supported https://peer.tube/w/niisfGPmHx6R8FCSCBvq8Y
URLs. For example Mastodon correctly fetches the video when using the short URL:
Seems like this is a feature the Akkoma team removed for some sorta security reason:

Describe the problem to be solved
I thought this video https://vod.newellijay.tv/w/b3fc74e3-f109-41dc-a1ea-54497521f215 was good and I wanted to share it. To find the federation URL, which is https://vod.newellijay.tv/videos/watch/b3fc74e3-f109-41dc-a1ea-54497521f215 , I had to grep the JSON by making API calls from the shell.
Describe the solution you would like
It'd be great if both:
/w/
instead of/videos/watch/
) also worked for federation, and
