!Friendica Support Tried to respond to a CWed post in recent #tusky and got an ... interesting outcome. Is this an issue in #friendica or rather a @Tusky display problem...?
Related, maybe: I noticed that, unlike Mastodon, Pleroma or Pixelfed, in case of friendicas posts both hashtags and mentioned accounts apparently are hrefs pointing to web resources which breaks most mobile apps I tried. Like, for mastodon, a "hashtag" seems something that is only rendered locally and "tapping" it in tusky, fedilab, ... starts a search for posts containing that tag in the app. In posts coming from Friendica, tapping a hash tag always will redirect me to a browser page searching my instance for that hashtag, and, same, "tapping" on a @<profile> mention in any apps in posts coming from Friendica will (depending on the app) either redirect me to the profile in a browser or just do nothing at all (current tusky just will say something like "looking up..." but never display a profile this way). It _seems_ related, because, same as here, there's not just text but some kind of link involved I believe. Is this intended? Known issue?
hashtags in the CW are generally broken, especially on Mastodon.
No one has been able to figure out why or fix it. It just got progressively worse and caused more issues when someone tried to figure it out a few years ago, and I think most have accepted that hashtags in CWs age cursed.
