Unable to post a link with a tilde (tarte.nuage-libre.fr)

I'd like to post links with a tilde (~) but the tilde gets removed. Is there a way to put it ?

Here's such a link : https://git.sr.ht/~mariusor/box

Here's what it should look like (with the added space to disable link rendering): https:// git.sr.ht/~mariusor/box

I'll take a look at the markfown_to_html function tonight. I'm not sure if this is coming from some of our custom markdown parsing or if this might be coming from markdown2, the python library that does the bulk of the work.

As a workaround, you can replace the tilde with %7E and it will work: https://git.sr.ht/%7Emariusor/box

Must be whatever you use as a front end. In Summit through Lemmy it's showing and working correctly.

For me in Piefed webpage

Link displayed as this:

https://git.sr.ht/mariusor/box

But hovering over / clicking gives this:

https://git.sr.ht/<sub>mariusor/box

Which results in a 404 error.

yeah, this is exactly what I have. Using piefed

Just an update on this. I think I have found the issue and can work on it. The next version of PieFed is going to have quite a number of improvements to the markdown_to_html function (including embedded videos finally).

Thanks for your work 🙏

Oh, and let's see if this works: This is a link <== This one says [This is a link](https://git/.sr.ht/~mariusor/box)

Or even just: https://git.sr.ht/~mariusor/box <== [https://git/.sr.ht/~mariusor/box](https://git.sr.ht/~mariusor/box)

...and if it doesn't, then at least this probably will: https://git.sr.ht/~mariusor/box <== [https://git/.sr.ht/~mariusor/box](https://git/.sr.ht/%7Emariusor/box)

Ooookay... That's a bit weird. The same link breaks if I write a tilde in its description!? Woaw! Also, I cannot escape a tilde, apparently!

Just wanted to follow up on this. I just pushed a fix for this issue, but it won't ship until PieFed 1.7. Thanks for your help identifying it!

Wow, thank you for working on it so fast !
