Facing the same issue, it's quite annoying.

Super annoying. We had to downgrade the server to an older version because we could not send file paths anymore without them getting destroyed by emojis.

Just found out that the behavior is different in Threads. There it works as expected. Maybe this helps finding the cause of the issue.

hi :) We just updated to the latest version, and sure thing short url aren't translated to URL. Our autolinker regex parser is the default (://|www\.).+ so nothing there... It look like it only fail for 1 letter subdomain ? I have a https://s.companyname.org for short link for example, don't work same for www.s.companyname.org but https://s1.companyname.org do work what is even weirder is that something like www.word.a.domain.com will link like this www.word.a.domain.com

Somewhere, there is something that break for single char in url...

:+1: is also broken, no longer returning a :+1: but :+1: i wonder if we shouldn't just change the markdown engine ...
