If you are using an app, you might look into how safe it is keep using that app? Or perhaps you ran into a special niche case for a particular URL, but I don’t really recall seeing special characters in any URLs related to PieFed so I don’t think that’s a (major) thing?
I mentioned that it’s been a while; maybe they resolved it. In mine there were plenty of at signs and colons. I agree there’s nothing upsetting about your links.
Fair, though I still don’t get: why would there be special characters in them?
e.g. the URL I see this OP on is https://piefed.social/c/fedimemes/p/1727244/piefed-is-cool-lemmy-is-too-what-s-not-cool-infighting-it-drives-away-new-users-unfortu, and the actual OP source is https://thelemmy.club/post/43491796. There a a bunch of numbers there, but not “special characters”, so I am not sure where you are getting this from.

I don’t see special characters in any of these?
