Lemmy breaks YouTube "start at" links

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&
  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.
The link worked fine for me on Voyager.
- Same

Started at 1:36 for me, seems like it works on Jerboa.
- Yep, OP's link works for me, using Sync, with the link itself opening in the YT app.
  
  Link opens in newpipe for me, but that is my doing lol. Still works though, sounds like he's complaining about pipedbot but that would be pipedbot not lemmy, otherwise I'd guess it's an app issue not a lemmy issue.
- Started at 0 for me using mlmym
