That's supposed to link to the middle of a video, but Lemmy messes up the ampersand.

The workaround is to use [url](url), like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wupToqz1e2g&t=96s.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=wupToqz1e2g&

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

But even when I use the workaround, Piped still posts a broken link.

Well, that's probably a problem with the bot, not Lemmy. You can probably report the issue to the bot creator.

Frankly I find that bot annoying. I just commented because it replied to me.
