Broken links (media.piefed.social)
submitted 1 day ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I've been noticing a few broken links like this on PieFed lately. I don't know if it's something new, or just me noticing it now.

The link breaks part way through. Checking the same post on a Lemmy instance, the link is intact.

Maybe to do with Piefed confusing underscores for formatting with underscores in multiword Wikipedia URLs?

This is probably due to the fix that allowed for bold words to show up twice in the same sentence. I don't have a good solution for this at the moment except maybe preprocessing the markdown in some way to escape this.

Ah so that's why we have that setting how it is. Good to know.

I've changed it back now. We'll need something smarter for the bold words issue.
