Why do some peers have unusual client names in qbittorrent

    It’s because some chars aren’t decoded properly. &amp should be rendered as just &. Hinting that more than this is not properly rendered

        ?

        edit: my client renders it as the actual character, even though it’s in a code block.

            I got a notification when you responded and it was “>” but it renders correctly once I open the post.

            edit fucking hell it did it even in quotes, I meant >

            had to use a greek question mark so it doesn’t render

              You can also use & to get &.

              Edit: Fuck, I meant &

              Edit 2: &

              Okay nevermind, either lemmy or sync resolves html entities recursively apparently.

              Edit 3: &

                finally someone who understands the pain

                lemmy doesn’t resolve html entities if put in a code block but sync does

                “wrongly” if in a code block for sure

                I use Sync for lemmy, it’s a mess but it’s the app that’s the closest to Joey for me. They charge 30$ to remove ads or 135$(lifetime, it’s like 3$ monthly) to be able to import/export communities lmao

                  Lmao. But quotes won’t change anything i guess. But monospace should do or you maybe able to escape the characters with backslash \

                  Lemme try >

                  Edit : yeah this works for me.

    Looks like a bug. But as long as they upload legitimate files, I don’t see the problem.
