How to get a working mastodon link in signature

Help
1

my blog: https://jevans.bio/

I have to split this into multiple comments because I’m not allowed to put more than two links in a single post/comment

current signature:

Find me on mastodon: @jevans@climatejustice.social

Follow this blog on mastodon: @jevans@jevans.bio

https://climatejustice.social/@jevans@jevans.bio

[RSS](https://jevans.bio/feed/)

The mastodon link for @jevans@climatejustice.social does work correctly.

I am able to find and follow the blog from my mastodon account.

The link for @jevans@jevans.bio becomes https://jevans.bio/@/jevans@jevans.bio and returns 404 “Collection doesn’t exist”.

The jevans.bio link gets mangled into

@jevans@jevans.bio">https://climatejustice.social/@jevans@jevans.bio

and doesn’t correctly create a link.

I also tried https://climatejustice.social/%40jevans%40jevans.bio, which renders correctly, but the link fails to convert %40 into @

What do I have to do to include a link that works?

Hey, thanks for reporting this!

It looks like these are bugs on our end, where we’re naively replacing @jevans@jevans.bio wherever we find it, including in that link (https://climatejustice.social/@jevans@jevans.bio). On top of that, there seems to be a bug with @-mentioning your own blog on a custom domain.

For now, I’d suggest leaving out the fediverse handle / URL for your own blog, and instructing people to search for https://jevans.bio on Mastodon – it’ll work just the same.

Sorry for the issue – I’ll take a closer look at these issues soon and keep you updated on when it’s all fixed.

Thanks! I was going a bit mad trying to figure out what I was doing wrong lol.

Also, I don’t know if this helps, but I initially had my handle set as @blog@jevans.bio, and when I put that in the signature, the link it generated redirected to here: Write.as Blog — Write.as
