Double @@ from links.

[Paul Chambers]

When going from a profile toot/post, url adds a double @@ in the transformed url.

For example, go to a post, format like https://TheirInstance/@user/109319548613954200 and click to have it transformed. The url becomes https://Your-Instance/@@username@TheirInstance. The proper URL should be https://Your-Instance/@username@TheirInstance.

Also, it would be nice to have the post URL transformed in the new link like https://Your-Instance/@username@TheirInstance/109319548613954200

Other than that, so far flawless. Great extension. https://oldfriends.live/@paul

Thanks for the report paul! I’ll take a look.

I tried to reproduce this but have not encountered the double @. I’ve noticed though that Mastodon not always injects the proper tags when navigating from a previous page (SPA) vs actually loading a page. I’ve tried both here, yet still haven’t encountered it.

I’ll close this for now, but if this happens again can you re-build the journey you took to reach the page, and post all those URLs here as a reply? Maybe then I can reproduce upon which I’ll gladly reopen.

About redirecting from https://TheirInstance/@user/109319548613954200 to https://Your-Instance/@username@TheirInstance/109319548613954200: this is not possible, as ids are different on instances.

See https://front-end.social/@bramus/109394868285321647 and https://mastodon.social/@[e-mail]/109394868830041245. They’re both the same posts, with different IDs on each instance.

It would be nice to get proper redirection support on post links as mentioned in above post. The bookmarklet I am using does that!

I came here to file a request for this but it's mentioned in this post so commenting instead. Thanks!

The bookmark is able to handle post id difference somehow. For example. I used it on this post url:

https://mastodon.social/@Hbomberguy/146524

And it redirected just fine to this post on my instance.

https://social.vivaldi.net/@[e-mail]/96982677509470189

Maybe the code in it might help. Thanks!
