@KS this sound familiar? https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/4328
@bea that makes sense. all the instances running master have two canonical links for each user, and I guess instances can't make up their mind which to use for mentions?
@KS so uh, how we doin now? patch is in
@bea mentions still seem to be haphazard?
like, let me see, if I mention @soft_chomps I'm pretty sure the URL will be gs/users/soft_chomps...? But when you did it just a couple minutes ago (https://glitch.social/users/bea/updates/60748) the URL was gs/@soft_chomps
... why is it still different??
@bea so like, I'm not sure how to describe this, but
the canonical url seems to have changed to /users/*** at some point in master, so any older posts that use /@*** in a mention stop working properly
and then for some reason, mentions done between two users on the same server have a URL of /@*** despite that not being the canonical URL for everybody else? so it doesn't work properly?
would this be considered a regression I guess?
@KS i'm not sure it's even just that that's a problem here
because
if i click the mention of my ephemeral self which uses /users/foo
it opens in the right column
but if i click the mention of soft_chomps from you it opens in a new tab and it also uses /users/foo
@bea this is all really weird
like, what is even going on on here and what kind of change would cause this to be happening anyway?
@bea I think ideally they should all open up in right col?
@KS i would like that
@KS now i must sleep tho
perhaps engage the gargamel if you feel up to it
@bea have a good sleeps <3
@KS i know not
would love to get a clear explanation of which mention links should open in right col vs new tab...
