Not an expert nor a historian, but my understanding is that ‘find’ goes back a long way (*nix has been around a while).
Earlier commands such as find were created back before a lot of command/option syntax forms we know today were agreed to and standardized.
Since ‘find’ has been around so long, we’ve just suffered its non-standard syntax rather than risk the chaos that would be unleashed by trying to fix it.
If it makes you feel better, you can console yourself that you’re using one of the more arcane incantations of the elder *nix wizards.
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.
Both versions work on my end.
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.

When a link contains parentheses, you have to escape them… or else.
