It’s called punycode. It’s just a way of encoding non ASCII characters in a URL.

That’s just some Unicode stuff; the domain name is non Latin characters so that’s how you represent it where unicode isn’t properly supported. Doesn’t mean mean anything malicious.
Is it common for Japanese URLs to use non-Latin text like that? I rarely end up on Japanese websites, but I feel like I've always seen romaji domains when I've ended up there.

Has there been an update? The last time I tried this… It was not a good experience… Seemed to crash pretty often, but I am on an arm64 device… so maybe that has something to do with it

Its a lemmy (and a host of other) TUI client. I like the look and performance. GH link is here: github.com/mrusme/neonmodem

That “xn–” link seems mighty suspicious…
I think its just the ASCII chars for his website domain.

Well, I have a new favorite Lemmy client.
