@Alamantus type the full toot link into your instance search and it will pop right up!
@linguangst Seems that mastodon.social links are super broken because they diverge from the norm dramatically. :/
@Alamantus @linguangst not sure what you mean, but the link pasting should work with any type of link, no matter how weird it is! It actually fetches the URL and looks at the content, it doesn't try to parse it.
@nightpool @linguangst Weird... I'm trying to put this in the search:
https://mastodon.social/@wakest/1640423
I keep getting a "503 Remote data could not be fetched" error. Maybe it's just the mastodon.social server having trouble again?
@Alamantus @linguangst Yes, this is probably a mastodon.social specific problem, or something up with cybre.space (pinging @chr)
@nightpool @linguangst @Alamantus i was under the impression mastodon.social has been having server problems this morning, may have affected that
also, there's been intermittent issues with requests erroring out on cybre.space -- i need to do a little investigation but i suspect updating to the latest mastodon code should help, which i'll have time to do later tonight
@Alamantus hm, it's working for me (my partner is on mastodon.social). for example: https://mastodon.social/@brandontlocke/1741458 https://witches.town/media/Dxk8q8npZTh6ZhjrIuA https://witches.town/media/XuT4pDHeamrt-AJXvZI
@linguangst Weird... Guess it's time to clear the cache and do all that browser troubleshooting stuff!
@linguangst @nightpool There we go, clearing and refreshing did it. Thanks for walking me through it all! :)
@linguangst @Alamantus I ... had no idea.
@linguangst Wait, really?? This is life-changing! Thanks!
