URL conflicts for gallery and profiles

Hello,

I mentioned this issue in a couple of replies yesterday, but it seems serious enough to warrant its own post.

It appears that gallery slugs that were previously working can be hijacked by profile slugs.

This is a problem for anyone who’s used and relied on gallery slugs with the manifold.gallery domain — especially in places that can’t be edited, such as email, direct messages, public posts and replies on social media, recorded media such as podcasts and videos etc.

Earlier this year I asked whether these slugs would be supported, and wilkins.eth confirmed that they would.

Then in October I found that these slugs had stopped working, and ediep confirmed it was a bug.

Here are examples of URLs I’ve shared that are currently redirecting to other peoples profile pages:

https://manifold.gallery/coda
https://manifold.gallery/dp

Really appreciate your patience following up with this - It’s definitely an issue. We’re working to resolve it at this moment. Will keep you updated.

Hey there, apologies for that. We had missed slug collisions for existing pages when launching profiles, but this is now resolved.

Note that going forward, NEW gallery listings will live in a different sub-path and we will be changing our apps to reflect where the new path is.

Thanks lyndo and wilkins for confirming and fixing!
