hey! the issue is actually with a dot in the user name, if you replace it (or entire username) with anything else, it'll work. cobalt only uses the post id.

i'm aware of this issue but forgot to put it on to-do list, thank you.

this bug is just an oversight by me, iirc cobalt gets the service name by splitting the url by ".", should definitely change that (and update the entire related function as i did with all the rest)

Ah, great then. Glad to help haha

(Forget what I just said, my chrome tab just didn't reload and I didn't pay attention to the actions list in the issue. My bad!)
