Toot ID different than the one in URL for social interaction

[rugk]

STR:

1. Go to https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/100254678717223630.
2. Click on @Vale@ganbara.nai reply "do it" on one interaction button.

What happens:
A new popup happens. It has the URL https://mastodon.social/interact/100254680557068529.
AFAIK the URL has the toot ID in there, i.e. the URl says the toot ID is: 100254680557068529.

Now hover over the "date field" (either in this "remote interact" form or the original site) and you get this URL: https://pawoo.net/@valerauko/100254680484038566.

It also has the toot ID, but this time, it's different. So to compare the IDs:

100254680557068529 - URL in remote interact
100254680484038566 - actual toot ID

When you submit the form I get to https://mastodon.social/web/statuses/100254680557068529, i.e. the "correct" toot URL.

Checking this for some other toots, I also get different IDs. But only sometimes, not always. That's strange.

What should happen: As always, toot ID should be the same.

• I searched or browsed the repo’s other issues to ensure this is not a duplicate.
• This bug happens on a tagged release and not on master (If you're a user, don't worry about this). (no, on mastodon.social)

Wait are you comparing toot IDs on different servers? They're always going to be different.

[nightpool]

the database id for individual statuses varies from server to server.

Thansks FYI, but…
No, actually it's the same server. You can also, more easily, see it here (same toot, compare the ID in the hovered links):

Or is there some kind of "external toot ID" and "internal toot ID"? Does this concept exist?

[rugk]

Ah, forget it, the toot I am hovering over actually is a remote toot. Uuups, forgot that… (one sometimes just forgets that it is decentralized 😉)

So it seems, i cannot rely on the information in the URL, at all. It's the local toot ID that may be different to the one, I want.
