social.network.europa.eu doesn't always work

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Even though the proposed link for social.network.europa.eu works for some usernames, I had the case where the page would just load forever.

I checked that in the background the request is made via xhr to the normal API and returned a proper json response object.

Request:
https://social.network.europa.eu/api/v1/accounts/lookup?acct=non_existing.
Result:
{"error":"Record not found"}

I would therefore suggest to change wmn-data.json from

{
  "name" : "Mastodon-EU_Voice",
  "uri_check" : "https://social.network.europa.eu/@{account}",
  "post_body" : "",
  "e_code" : 200,
  "e_string" : "social.network.europa.eu",
  "m_string" : "The page you are looking for isn't here.",
  "m_code" : 404,
  "known" : ["EC_DIGIT", "EUSPA"],
  "cat" : "social",
  "valid" : true
}

to

 {
  "name" : "Mastodon-EU_Voice",
  "uri_check" : "https://social.network.europa.eu/api/v1/accounts/lookup?acct={account}",
  "post_body" : "",
  "e_code" : 200,
  "e_string" : "social.network.europa.eu",
  "m_string" :  "Record not found",
  "m_code" : 404,
  "known" : ["EC_DIGIT", "EUSPA"],
  "cat" : "social",
  "valid" : true
}

I've checked and this makes sense. I would like it if you moved the current uri_check to the uri_pretty value ("uri_pretty" : "https://social.network.europa.eu/@{account}",

@HolzmanoLagrene are you able to/willing to make this change and Pull Request or do you need us to do it?
