That's supposed to link to the middle of a video, but Lemmy messes up the ampersand.
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
That's more on the PipedLinkBot's maintainer, who hasn't taught it to parse extra data on the link correctly.
