ResolvedLinks to Medium articles get broken
Posted August 22, 2020 by lucrecia in Bugs

A link such as:

https://medium.com/@clsmiley/transwomen-are-women-or-else-a996e4ac02c5

gets autoformatted as:

https://medium.com/@clsmiley/transwomen-are-women-or-else-a996e4ac02c5

and it doesn't work. Looks like something is trying to be clever and expanding the @ to what it thinks is a user account?

It's possible to workaround by using the 'insert link' option in the editor:

https://medium.com/@clsmiley/transwomen-are-women-or-else-a996e4ac02c5

but most people won't know that, and are more likely to think that Medium has censored yet another article.
