Minimal reproducible example

https://startrek.website/comment/1555702

the link in this comment opens the Wikipedia page for China when viewing in Memmy. In Safari it opens the correct page for “China’s Final Warning” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/China's_final_warning

https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy/assets/1106220/d3aaafcc-6730-4b3e-86fb-9f650c1c3207

Expected Behavior

When I tap the link in that comment it goes to the Wikipedia article for China, not the page that is linked

Why is this considered as "medium priority"? Opening urls is the key function of Lemmy. A client which messes up urls is useless.

This bug happens with every url containing special characters. Taz.de articles contain a "!" character, eg. 12ft.io urls have problems, too.

Please consider this as a top priority!

Personal opinion: Cause it doesn't break or crash the app nor represents a security issue. Priorities are given not by UI/UX but by technical & security evaluation (sorry, that's normal) Medium does not mean it's not being looked at, it just means that people can still use the app fine without this (e.g. copy the link manually)

Links are handled better now with new markdown.
