Sister communities:
Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

When a link contains parentheses, you have to escape them... or else.
'find' goes back a long way
Please try it again and let me know if this fixed it. Both versions work on my end.
It works now. It definitely didn't before when using Sync for Lemmy. That kind of mistake wouldn't have worked on the reddit website either. I had seen it a million times. Not sure if the Lemmy web site would handle it right.
I'm surprised to hear that.
Markdown libraries normally see the closing parenthesis in the URL as the end of the link markdown syntax of
[text](link)
. You had[text](link(stuff))
which is parsed as[text](link(stuff)
A smarter markdown parser could handle it, so whatever app you were using might do that.
