Short URL not recognized and converted to emoji

[grthr]

Description:
When pasting an short URL like https://g.co/meet/something, it is not rendered as Link and not clickable.
Even using it inside Markdown Link style does not work.

Steps to reproduce:
Type https://g.co/meet/something in the message input
Expected behavior:
A link should be created to the given URL

Actual behavior:
An emoji is rendered from the :/ and no link is created.

This was working fine in 4.8.1

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.

Same issue with "10:30" > 0:3 get's translated into an emoji.

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 👍 but :+1:
i wonder if we shouldn't just change the markdown engine ...

So, in Settings, Account, Default User Preferences, you have a global switch to revert to the old message template.

You can also do this for your user only in My account, Preferences , Global

It does not fix this bug, but allow to work around it until the dev have the time to do so

Same problem for me with url which doesn't have .com or dot something...
