Like even a little description?

    I’ve never looked at the code base and I could make a reasonable guess as to what it’s about. I’m guessing it has to do with pasting a fediverse link into a post and making it point to the actual instance instead of the federated link.

    I could be wrong but it looks like it would make sense to the maintainers of the code.

    Or am I just missing a joke here?

      The fact that you’re asking proves the description is bad. URLs? “Fixed: when a URL is passed to AAA, BBB should be CCC, but it is DDD instead”. "Stupid* descriptive commit messages are unbeatable. You might as well copy the whole bug description if it’s not super long and was formulated by a person used to describe things (so, any good QA)

        I think the description is sufficient. As long as the dev and contributors know what it’s referring to. Isn’t this app mostly worked on by one person? I think people complaining about short action descriptions or calling them stupid is a bit excessive. Unless both you and the OP are looking to contribute?
