One day, Github will fix their opengraph implementation to point link previews to, you know, the correct # anchor, or the correct sub-page of a wiki, or what have you.

(I opened a ticket months ago with support and got a nice message that was "We can reproduce this bug and are escalating it to engineering. Unfortunately it means we are also closing this ticket and you can't track it. Sorry!")

@darius yeah.. that's the thing that makes clicking the image in the official Mastodon Android client lead to the project page instead of the specific url, right?

@darius that's fairly disappointing, I should ping some GitHub friends about it, it can't be that hard a fix (#famouslastwords)

@darius As a new Team Lead, responsible for helping my support team manage hundreds of open tickets, I get why they do that.

@mormorhaxa yup, understandable, I was just trying to pre-empt the "can you point to the open issue" responses. I truly meant it when I said it was nice

@darius My favorite bug trackers are the ones that go:

1. Thank you for reporting this issue
2. We were able to reproduce the issue
3. Some time passes
4. This issue has not had any activity in a long time and was closed automatically

@darius If it costs more money to fix that fixing it will make them, they probably won't fix it.
