@eransharv After talking to Gildon, it appears like the docs are wrong.
the field events should be replaced with tags.

However, there still seems to be an issue with broken links that doesn’t reproduce 100%.
WIth my account, it reproduces 100%.
WIth Eliran’s account, it reproduces 100%.
With Gildon’s account, it never reproduces.
When not logged in, it also never reproduces

After further investigation, it appears like reddit’s “new reddit” UI has an encoding issue.

communicating with gildon over best solution

OK so please update if anything else should be fixed in the docs or in our side, except changing events to tags in the docs (already fixed).

thanks

@eransharv bottom line, reddit’s new UI has a bug that we need to either have a workaround for (via the platform) or have reddit to fix.

here’s a sample share I did to show the case: Reddit - Dive into anything

Quoting gildon’s explanation to the problem:

the issue is the spaces
it re-encodes %20 to %2B
this is the redirect URL reddit generates

this is after me manually fixing the escaped characters

Gildon said he’ll discuss with Tom & Dudu regarding what’s the best solution to the problem.
