When I try to visit @barackobama@threads.net with @apps from the social.tchncs.de instance, I actually get to @BarackObama

When I log in via browser I get redirected to the threads website threads.net/@barackobama/ but do not see the account on my instance.

Does anyone know why this is, espacially how I end up at @BarackObama? Probably has something to do with I guess?

@movodehe Yes, your instance blocks it. You can see that on the 'about' page. /cc @beandev

However, should handle this on another way. A redirect to a random profile is a bug.

@beandev Me wonders from where this other profile is pulled when there's a domain block on server side. @movodehe @apps

@morph
Me too. Seems like a really random bug to me and it crossed my mind, that it might be on purpose to load from a replacement instance. But that would also not make any sense to me.
Expected behaviour would be an error message.

Im pretty sure, I faced the bug long time ago. I don't know if I had reported the error. 🙄
