diaspora/diaspora — Issue #2298: dot in follow tag breaks entire stream display
Author: geonom

State: open

What happens:
Visiting any page that displays streams - like the normal https://diasp.org/ redirects automatically to
https://diasp.org/stream - that now returns a "Some how we done broke it! (Error 500) If you get this on all pages delete your diaspora session cookie and log back in"

What I did directly before:
I added the follow tag 'diasp.org' (without the enclosing ' )- does it break when encountering dots in follow tags?

I seem to be unable to recover from the bug, since the only page to edit follow tags is the
https://diasp.org/stream
as far as I can tell.

All pages not displaying the stream seem to work well, including https://diasp.org/profile/edit https://diasp.org/conversations https://diasp.org/notifications https://diasp.org/people/ https://diasp.org/contacts https://diasp.org/user/edit https://diasp.org/authorizations https://diasp.org/services

However, the main interface of diaspora broke entirely with the above error message without any option to recover as far as I can tell. Is it really about a dot in the tag?
