3 months ago Does mastodon web have a different behavior?
The way clients work is by sending the content as plain text to your instance, and your instance is responsible for everything else. From resolving mentions, emojis, hashtags to url parsing. Your instance then converts it to safe HTML.
The only thing Tuba could be at fault here is with url encoding characters :shrug: Give me a second to check on Mastodon's issue tracker

3 months ago Doesn't look that there's anything I can do from my side and based on the last comment on mastodon/mastodon#6121, it seems intentional?

3 months ago Ah damn, I wouldn't have thought ' and such would be valid URL characters... I guess there's no choice but to close this then, indeed 🫠
Describe the bug
If you toot something that says something like
extend https://foo_bar_baz's proposed UX to …, the'swill get included as part of the hyperlink, and the link will then be pointing to a broken location.Presumably there might be other punctuation characters where word separation might be a problem, but I'm not sure what the best practices are vs what is allowed in URIs...
Steps To Reproduce
Write
',:,;,(,),., etc. straight after a URL in a toot (I haven't tested all of those, just the'apostrophe)?Logs and/or Screenshots
No response
Instance Backend
Mastodon
Operating System
Fedora 39
Package
Flatpak
Troubleshooting information
os: GNOME 46 (Flatpak runtime) prefix: /app flatpak: true version: 0.7.1 (production) gtk: 4.14.1 (4.14.1) libadwaita: 1.5.0 (1.5.0) libsoup: 3.4.4 (3.4.4) libgtksourceview: 5.12.0 (5.12.0)
Additional Context
To work around the problem, I had to edit the toot and put a space between the URL and the
's. I'm not sure if this is the only way for this to work, or if Mastodon and Tuba would be able to reliably delimit the hyperlinking based on detected punctuation...
