I think I did mention how Jira is affected by the Enshittification, right? Below is my summary, how is your impression of the new Jira world?
Back in the day we used to have:

✅ Independent Jira hosted severs

✅ Public Jiras indexed by search engines

✅ Media files hosted by the Jira server as is

❌ No Markdown support

Now we have:

❌ One Atlassian cloud that hosts all Jiras

❌ Public Jiras not being indexed by search engines

❌ Media files are recompressed by Jira, not matter how good your compression is

❌ Media files are no longer directly linkable, it forces upon you a Javascript viewer

✅ Markdown support

Not to mention the overall perceived slowness of the new Jira world. 🫠

Anyway, I had the same issue as you with the Fedora Jira whilst logged with my Qt Jira account. Then I went to a Private Browser Window and I was able to access the public Fedora Jira link.
