Edit: interestingly I think your link as formatted will work on the website but not in Sync. Can anyone else report if this is the same for other apps?
Huh, not sure what’s going on there. It looks fine on my instance obviously, but it seems fine on yours and the post’s in the browser at least. Then again kbin seems to be particularly janky with links in particular. Thanks for making a version everyone can see
It has to do with the fact that there’s parenthesis in the URL but parenthesis are also part of the link markup. So unless something accounts for that then it will cut the url off prematurely. I think maybe the default Lemmy ui takes care of that automatically.

OP’s link for posterity:
Android.
Connect app: a blank page both times
Mobile FF: a pdf both times
Seems like my app just can’t render files.
I’m confident Connect would support escape characters so maybe I just need more.
Edit: or maybe less, try this one [test link](https://www.cell.com/current-biology/pdf/S0960-9822(11\)01138-9.pdf). PDF
An error on the site itself, hm.
I think it’s not it’s fault but of the webview (?) app it borrows from the system.
Bring it to the dev’s attention? They seemed pretty on top of things when I used that app.

Voyager/iOS has no issue with any of the link formats.
