@lnxw48a1 Gotta say, it's weird seeing a URL to another instance that redirects onto the actual URL. Does GNU social API have smth like that "entities" thing Twitter uses for URLs?
@usr_local_share It is just a built-in *non-tracking* URL shortener. The link was pretty long. Twitter, OTOH, uses a purpose-built click-tracker that is sometimes shorter and other times longer than the original URL.
@lnxw48a1 True. But I meant it like how Twitter's API provides additional entity fields for every URL in a tweet, providing both the shortened and the complete URL.
