Hashtags redirect to remote node


Hello !Friendica Support
with current develop code hashtags are linked to and are redirecting to the remote server. That's unexpected. Is this a bug or an intentional change?

I don't like to leave my own node when browsing fedi except for links that explicitly redirect to the remote content or profile.
Looks like that's only true for AP content but not for content from Diaspora or Twitter. Very confusing.
If there is a #hashtag in the text, you also get a list of used hashtags at the end of the note or comment. If you click on the #hashtag inside the text, it links to the instance the comment or posting is coming from, if you click on the hashtag at the end, you open the search for this hashtag on your instance. So you have the choice. I like it this way.
@Martin Schmitz Your comment has local hashtags inside the text here, means they point to my instance. Maybe from Pleroma or Misskey (I don't know yet) this might happen that hashtags in comments are not rewritten because of how they render the comment's content?
I never knew that was a thing! Interesting!
@Martin Schmitz @Steffen K9 🐰 Both point to my instance, it seem to depend on the setting "Local hashtags" or so.
Thanks for the hint! Does that only have an effect on new posts (imported after the config change)?
@Matthias/E@Steffen K9 🐰 Links in posts are computed once then cached. This has negative interaction with "Stay Local" which is supposed to change the links when the setting changes. As a result I'm not sure it is taken into account at all during post link computation.

Friendica Support reshared this.

Yep! A new post arrived. Tags are local now. Great. πŸ™‚
Need to be added to config oder system?
@Grischa@Steffen K9 🐰@Matthias/Esystem, you can check yourself in static/defaults.config.php (but don't edit this file!)
