@FlipboardMagazines Welcome to the fediverse!
@Flipboard Excited to be here!
@FlipboardMagazines
Glad to have you here! Following some magazines, I noticed that links are often not rendering properly on Mastodon, is this a known issue?
A few questions so we can help you:
We've noticed there can be a few minute delay on Mastodon for rendering images. Are you still seeing this issue?
Are you using a third-party app to view your Mastodon account? If yes, which one?
Thanks for the welcome!
@FlipboardMagazines mhh... this is quite strange, the link I shared with you does not seem to work anymore and all links now seem to be rendered properly (i.e. they are clickable, I was not talking about link previews/cards).
Did you fix something in the meantime?
The issue is only visible in one location for @InsideClimate : on there profile description where a link is not clickable.
The issue was both on the mastodon web interface and on a 3rd party client (still true for the profile).
@FlipboardMagazines small update, I noticed the links are still not clickable on the Fedilab client
@tfardet Links in Magazine descriptions are not clickable at this time. Thanks for providing the feedback — it will be shared with our team.
We appreciate you reaching out about your experience!
