Some hashtags open in the browser about tootle HOT 3 CLOSED

Yup, Tootle supports Mastodon API only and can't request data from other types of instances. I think opening those links in a browser is better than silently failing.

Tootle could look up the tag-URL in the status and use that instead. The tag-URL points to the instance of the logged-in user. For the example status that would be:

{
…
    "tags" : [
      {
         "url" : "https://soc.ialis.me/tags/spycops",
         "name" : "spycops"
      }             
    ],
…
}

The current behavior is similar. Mastodon automatically creates links for tags which Tootle uses while parsing toots. If a hashtag link looks like it's from Masto, Tootle tries to request all toots from current instance associated with with that hashtag. It it fails, it opens a link in the browser.
