RE: ‼️ IMPORTANT: Community Names and 1st Hashtag - steemit.com SEO
Very good measure, thanks for your work!
Bug? Phenomenon?
When you open an article via SteemWorld, the encrypted name remains.
SW:
Feed:
The update doesn't automatically change the URL to the more friendly one - so links from external sites could be different (both will work as normal).
What it does quietly do in the background though, is tell (Search Engines) Google that:
https://steemit.com/steemit-feedback/@the-gorilla/important-community-names-and-1st-hashtag-steemit-com-seo
should be given priority over:
https://steemit.com/whatever-goes-here/@the-gorilla/important-community-names-and-1st-hashtag-steemit-com-seo
Ah, okay, I understand.
This is how we've always done things with "hidden" links that apply to all interfaces, right?
Like this
Oh, that's interesting (and annoying). The canonical link is correct but the redirect includes the community ID instead of the community name. I'll have to do something about that.
I'm glad I was able to help and compensate for your DV... 😉
It looks like they do their downvoting manually - how funny's that??
That means that they have to think about me every single day and how I've completely ruined their reward farming 🤣🤣
I had seen that once, but I didn't find how to reproduce it, so I thought I was going crazy. Guess I just happened to click on a link where someone had used the full URL instead of a relative link.
I'll need to check a few bits. I thought I'd updated the /@username/permlink scenario but maybe not.
If somebody's got a full, old-style URL, my code won't update that.
Right, that's what I'm seeing. For example, if I click on the link near the beginning of this article, it still goes to the hive-166960 link.
FTR, it's going to be your fault when I go blind from counting "l"s now. ;-)
Yes, that makes sense.
Don't worry, the extra 'l' shouldn't be needed soon 😉
we had to change the links in the sheet because they no longer worked. Coincedence or?
Can you share an example please?
If a link worked in the old format, it should still work after this update.
