    That’s an interesting idea - Maybe if it’s in the middle there is less likelihood that it is intended as a tag or topic. I hadn’t thought of that approach. Anyway, love the app! thanks!

      Thanks!

      The only other time I’ve seen this bug, the bracket modifiers were used in addition to the word they were clarifying rather than replacing it.

      e.g. 800 service members kicked out under DADT [Don't Ask Don't Tell] just got discharges upgraded to honorable which would still be readable; the clarifying addition would show as the flair. I think that’s more common, but I don’t see either of these too often.

      The other bug I noticed is when the whole title is in brackets; the whole thing turns into a flair. e.g. https://dubvee.org/post/lemmy.world/20921885

      I may go ahead and address both of those and re-write the flair/tag extraction process.
