D.Hamlin.Music Okay, let me demonstrate it this way. I hope Glitch can at least display multiple-line code blocks. If not, I give up, for there's absolutely no way of showing you what I mean.
On Twitter, Mastodon and everything else that "does microblogging", a hashtag includes the hashtag character in the link. In
#[zrl=https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Hashtag]Hashtag[/zrl]
, everything is part of the link and part of the hashtag.
All this is a link

Look at the hashtags that you're used to. The
#
is always part of the link and part of the hashtag.
This is what Mastodon used to expect. And this is what Glitch (which is where you are) and Iceshrimp.NET (which is where @
Lunawawa :neofox_snug: :therian: is) still expect and nothing else.
Friendica, Hubzilla (which is where I am) and (streams) work differently, also because Friendica is five and a half years older than Mastodon, Hubzilla is an indirect Friendica fork, and (streams) is an indirect Mastodon fork.
In
#[zrl=https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Hashtag]Hashtag[/zrl]
, the
#
is decoration, not part of the link, not part of the hashtag. Only
Hashtag
is the link and the actual hashtag.
Neither Glitch nor Iceshrimp.NET can handle this. Their devs have probably never seen any of this. They neither know it exists, nor do they even only expect it to exist.
Result: Glitch "sanitises" the unknown, unexpected, "IDFK what this is" code away, just like Mastodon probably used to do until someone from Friendica or Hubzilla filed a bug on GitHub. And Iceshrimp.NET doesn't know how to handle this unexpected code at all. It fails ungracefully by going completely haywire.
I'm going to file a bug on the Glitch repository now. For Iceshrimp.NET, I'll need an account on its repository.
