@sheislaurence

That's definitely a bug.

There is another bug where link previews weren't rendering anchor links (with # in them) at all, and perhaps this new bug is a result of an attempt to correct the anchor text bug?

You're on mastodon.social so the devs often use it for experimental code which may not work properly. Perhaps this is some of that experimental code?

Workaround for this would be to leave out the anchor part of the link (the # sign).

@feditips I tried that too, it doesn't work (that's how it is now). @Gargron and , any chance you can look into it?

@sheislaurence

I think I know what the problem is, it's nothing to do with Mastodon.

The website has set the incorrect value for its metadata. The website's source code currently says:

<meta property="og:url" content="notechforapartheid.com">

It should have an https:// before the web address. This tag is what determines the link in the preview, and it's currently giving the wrong address for previews.

If you can contact the website owners, they are the only ones who can fix this.

@feditips yes, i think you are right, because it doesn't happen with other websites. Thanks, that's defo going beyond the call of duty 🔥 ! Will contact them now!
