[Bug]: Within a user bio and metadata, profile links to accounts on other instances get opened in a browser instead of Tuba about tuba HOT 2 CLOSED

The first one is a Tuba issue (I use a different widget, I'll fix it ASAP!) but the second one (profile fields) should work. The reason it doesn't from your instance is because weirder.earth has strict moderation and your instance (mastodon.social I assume), is suspended. Tuba defaults to opening in the browser when resolving fails

Actually, on a second look, the profile description is also correct (widget-wise). Looks like the first profile has a deep-link causing instances to not be able to resolve it:

The [at]martinhamel[at]mastodon.top link in the first account's description leads to https://mobiliteactive.org/@[email protected] when it should be leading to https://mastodon.top/@martinhamel

This is what happens when you click a link:

• if the object that holds the text provided a mentions list (usually posts), it first checks if the link exists in that list and opens it if it does
• else if the url contains /tags/, assume it's a hashtag and deal with that
• else if the url contains "@" or "user" (or the secret aggressive-resolving dconf option is enabled), it attempts to resolve it (by searching for it on the instance)
• else it opens it in the browser

You can go ahead from your instance and search for https://mobiliteactive.org/@[email protected], notice there's no results and then search https://mastodon.top/@martinhamel and see it pop-up

I'll close this as there's nothing I can really do to be honest 🤷
