Matrix.to links not useful when shared on platforms which don't navigate to # fragement #365

Copy link

Cause

Behaviour described in title observed on Discord, where links not escaped with <url> to pages reachable by Discord's web crawler automatically generate rich media embeds which on click navigate to the linked page, minus URL fragment.

Effect

This causes confusion, as matrix.to without fragment content is nearly useless for onboarding someone to the matrix network.

Possible solutions

  • Add button which shows compatible clients on matrix.to root page to improve onboarding
  • Make # anonymizer optional
