In our forum we’re running RSS Polling (right now it’s [69bbeae](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-rss-polling/commit/69bbeae3a249dcd51dd8bcd04d459e6e6d70d5e9 "69bbeae3a249dcd51dd8bcd04d459e6e6d70d5e9"). This issue happened ~15 days ago). The issue is that links with diacritics (e.g. `ó` or `à`) instead of getting the actual original URL, they domain part of the URL gets the forum’s.

If you look at [this post](https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/the-qubes-documentation-is-migrating-to-read-the-docs/35034) you’ll find it fixed, but in the edit history, you can see that the links were previously broken.
