Meetup.com "Link Shortener" issue

[eselje]

I attempted to post my that.us event on Meetup's "This is an online event" URL, but it rejected it saying "This link uses a URL shortener that we don't recognize." I didn't post this to Issues, as this isn't a problem with the code per se, but Meetup needs to be told that "That.Us" is now a perfectly acceptable place to have online events.

@eselje interesting. is that something we need to register with them? or is it a valid domain issue '.us'?

I'm pursuing this with Meetup.

Thank you.

Long story short - they're looking into it. They support https://meet.jit.si/, so if there's a way to get to our activities via a sub-URL of that then it would work now. It's not a huge deal of course because you can put the URL in a comment in MeetUp.

not sure what you mean by sub-url?

Are you trying to embed the activity on meetup so you can just see it running?

[eselje]

If the activities on that.us were accessible via a Jitisi url like https://meet.jit.si/that/<ActivityCode> then it would work until they fix the actual issue. All I'm really trying to do it make it easy for the people who follow us on meetup to find the link. They have this checkbox that says it's an online event, but won't accept the *that.us <http://that.us>* domain. I can add it in the comments of course but it's just a little more difficult for the user to find. No biggie. [image: image.png]
