Markup let’s you label a link which is really nice for readability but can also be used to trick people into opening a different site from what they are shown. For example the link below suggests it takes you to a Mastodon instance but if you blindly tap it it will take you somewhere else:
https://mastodon.social/explore
Is there a quick and convenient way to check the actual URL behind a link? I know that it’s possible to show a post as plain markup but in longer posts with potentially multiple links it’s cumbersome to correlate what is what.
Ideally long tapping a link should show you the actual URL or alternatively you always get a small confirmation pop up with a simple tap (that’s how it worked on RIF for instance).
Just sanity checking if I’m missing anything, else I might submit a feature request.
Edit: looks like this was added in a recent update. Get the newest version and it will let you long press a link to get an options menu.
Our government decided to ban all the adult websites to shield their incompetence in handling a very horrible sexual abuse and murder of a child. And TIL this website was also included in that list.
Weird, maybe it’s because it has ‘fucking’ in the title? That would happen if they applied a filter with keywords.
