This is a very minor, silly issue, but whenever a bio gets truncated it'll get ellipsized with [...] . Note the extra space after the closing bracket.

There's another extra space in the bridging disclaimer: [bridged from URL on the fediverse by fed.brid.gy ]

When you're limited to 256 characters every lost character matters.

On a related note I'm not sure if it's necessary to specify it was bridged from the fediverse (or other services) when already providing an url. It's good advertisement for the original service, but it eats other 16 characters.

Yes! You're right, every character does count when you're counting characters.

It's funny too, a number of other people have asked for us to put more into these bridging disclaimers, not less: #1347 . It's definitely a tricky balance.

I can look at this! Not a high priority right now though, just fyi.

This one is sadly necessary. Without it, Bluesky's auto-linking logic includes the trailing ] and links to https://fed.brid.gy/] , which doesn't work.
