@rysiek@mastodon.technology @selea Right, email sent :)

Screenshot of email: To: Guatam from inkl Subject: Re: Feedback from user mail@ar.al Hi Guatam, I’ve been asking people who follow the links I share if they have screenshots of when they’re told to sign up to read the article and today someone sent me one (after multiple people reported it). Can you please let me know what’s going on? Are you A/B testing? If people are told to sign up to read the articles, I’m going to stop sharing links from Inkl and stop using the app. Screenshot attached + here’s a link to the Mastodon thread including the URL I shared: https://mastodon.technology/@rysiek/108408684919160390 Thanks, Aral

@rysiek@mastodon.technology @selea OK, mystery solved; the Inkl folks found the problem:

Mastodon strips out the information they need to not show the paywall in its media preview. So if you click the media preview, it doesn’t work. If you click the original link, it does.

They’re working on a fix.

Screenshot showing my toot with arrows pointing to the original link (works) and the media preview (doesn’t work).
