AT to AP - Strange link, or link applied to wrong text

[hybridhavoc]

Just ran across an odd issue I thought I would bring up here. A Bluesky post bridged over to ActivityPub has a link in a weird place.

• Bluesky post here: https://bsky.app/profile/aielcakes.bsky.social/post/3kuiqjn63762z
• ActivityPub side here: https://darkfriend.social/@aielcakes.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy/112587069838804943

The original Bluesky post has an @ mention for bsky.app which is displayed as a link on Bluesky. On the AP side there is no link on the @ mention, but there is a link on a different set of 9 characters.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like there's a log available for that post.

I'm seeing the same issue with hashtags and @ mentions as well.

• Bluesky original post: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:6es2dmxav4uel3q67xhkgyox/post/3kuilbhibek2v
• ActivityPub side example: https://mastodon.social/@origasky.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy/112586702973436265

The first hashtag is properly mapped to a fediverse hashtag, but not the following ones. They also display a link displacement, same for the following @ mention.

Oof, yeah. Sorry! Will fix.

Background: snarfed/granary@e08550e interacted badly with #990 and b4124bd. I'm rolling back snarfed/granary@e08550e, which should fix this regression, but that means AP => Bluesky profile bios still won't have meaningful whitespace, ie newlines won't show up. I'll need to figure that out.

Sadly Mastodon's .status__content p { white-space: pre-wrap } style doesn't apply to profile bios, they have class account__header__content instead.

bridgy-fed/activitypub.py

Lines 810 to 816 in 551637f

	# wrap in <p>. some fediverse servers (eg Mastodon) have a white-space:
	# pre-wrap style that applies to p inside content. this preserves
	# meaningful whitespace in plain text content.
	# https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/990
	if not content.startswith('<p>'):
	content = obj_or_activity['content'] = f'<p>{content}</p>'
	obj_or_activity['content_is_html'] = True

Good motivation, really I want to bring back the \n => <br> translation anyway instead of depending on a project-specific CSS like that to preserve whitespace.

OK, the regression here should be fixed. Example: https://bsky.app/profile/snarfed.bsky.social => https://indieweb.social/@snarfed.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy/112587591636781521

I'll leave this open to figure out the rest.

OK, fixed preserving whitespace in AP => Bluesky bios. Example: https://bsky.app/profile/evan.cosocial.ca.ap.brid.gy
