Eddrit glitches

[SkyRider13]

Hi the eddrit frontend for reddit itself works fine but whenever you click a link to another post(eddrit usually leaves the base reddit link untouched, this means things like reddit short urls work unlike Redlib) it only sometimes redirects automatically to edrrit. I have to manually tap the extension to do make it work myself very often.

I'd expect the redirection to work automatically as usual with the normal longer reddit links, hopefully short urls needing to redirect to a long link first could be left alone somehow?

Well, if you see Redlib, afaik, they convert this shortlinks to reddit.com so we never bothered.

What are those shortlinks you mean, some examples ?

[SkyRider13]

Redlib still uses their own shortlink which doesn't work, though that's more of a them problem than the extensions

As for eddrit, that does link to the normal reddit shortlinks

the issue is that sometimes after clicking it the extension doesn't redirect the loaded page to eddrit all the time

As I said, we redirect the main page URL the rest is automatically converted by the frontend itself.

@ManeraKai - If you have this in regex, then look onto it and fix else, tag this upstream,won't fix and close as not planned.

@SkyRider13 - Sorry, this is a upstream bug. If it is not redirected even when included in the code. We will fix it. If not, this will be closed and please file it in eddrit repository reference this issue.

We mainly focus on redirecting links in the address bar, the rest is mostly handled by instances.
