@espectalll I fixed that in master and nightly. The acct: URI is normalised and remote subscribes work for anyone who has updated that. Maybe @hannes2peer wants to merge this on #quitter.se: https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/commit/388655d19b29524f7f501b092e56ece6bd05d19c and https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/commit/2744bdcdb76e5d8affa7c54a583effadb7b1430d
@Gargron I never understood underscore filtering either (but that's not the issue in this thread). But then again #Gmail ignores (at least) dots in their usernames, so there's obviously some sort of use to it (less confusion for example: a_____b vs a____b <- who is who?).

@thefaico Subscribing shouldn't be an issue. Mentioning should probably cause collision confusion though. If this is an actual problem I wouldn't mind making sure it works. Haven't heard anything about this from the real world use though.
-
@mcscx You should, but it'd be without the underscore. The locally stored (normalized/sanitised) nickname is the one you would mention. That's why confusion may occur with a__b and a___b because both would be @ab (but you wouldn't be able to do it without being subscribed I think, i.e. @a__b@someplace.com)
-
@mcscx How about we find someone with underscores and try it out? ;)
-
^- Hello @choller@mastodon.social, you are part of an experiment. (see conversation on my instance for context) .)
(I could subscribe to you perfectly well despite you having an underscore in the nickname)

^- Hello @choller, you are part of an experiment. (see conversation on my instance for context) .)
(I could subscribe to you perfectly well despite you having an underscore in the nickname)
(but apparently not use the full acct uri when notifying)
-
^- @realramnit Apparently I could use the nickname but not the full ID, probably not even @choller (though that depends on in which order the normalisation goes, which I don't remember off-hand)
-
@realramnit Ok, I could use the proper @a__b@example.com but not the shorter @ab@example.com
So this is more of a user confusion scenario than a technical difficulty. The most confusion part was that my autocomplete suggested to use an invalid identifier.
-
@espectalll @realramnit I haven't tried using the "Remote follow" link on a #Mastodon instance yet, no. But that's just a redirect to /main/ostatussub which works great. I just subscribed to @ekaitzzarraga for example.
-
@choller Just us self-absorbed devs playing around with puny mortal users!
-
@espectalll Yes, remote subscription form. What I saw that was the error in some screenshot you had was that the 'acct:' part was included, which makes the lookup fail. Without it, it works even with underscores.
If it for some reason still doesn't work for you, maybe it's because you're on #quitter.se and because @hannes2peer unfortunately has to work to gather capitailst money to pay for crappy capitalist stuff in a crappy capitalist society I think it drains energy from maintaining stuff too often (is my projected interpretation).
-
@realramnit Yes, which is confusing because if you do the whole nick + URL it will do the same lookup as /main/ostatussub which will fail if it's not properly formatted (with underscores). Clearly a !GNUsocial bug.

@pskosinski Sorry :( *massages with GNU hooves*
