Hey all,

By a user currently the bot has a problem to detect the entered URL in the “Greetings!” message:

the link in the post is `https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotic_Shorthair` which leads to

entering here now `https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotic_Shorthair` lead to the same result.

Also restarting it with `start tutorial` did not help.  
In the logs I can not find something suspicious and have the latest version installed (3.2.4).

Tried to reproduce it with my own account, there everything works as expected:

Do you have an idea what the problem could be?

Thank you!
