     @flopp @stefano @jwildeboer Couldn't we resort to something like the German Crossword spelling? Ä> AE, Ö>OE, ß> ss etc to have 8bit clean filenames?
     Just a thought.

     Fyi: Munster is in Lower Saxony, while Münster is North Rhine Westphalia

     @stefano @jwildeboer I totally understand the normalization issue and your current solution.
     Thank you for creating the service!

     @flopp @jwildeboer Yes, I’m aware of the issue. However, for maximum compatibility across all languages, I had to 'normalize' special characters. Unfortunately, this includes German umlauts, accented Italian letters, as well as accented characters in French and Spanish. This approach helps avoid encoding and compatibility issues across different platforms, but I do recognize that it may cause some inconvenience for users who are accustomed to the original character forms. Over time, I will correct everything in the names and bios of the accounts.

     @jwildeboer @stefano yes, this is really useful. Funny enough, a fedimeteo post for my city just popped up in my timeline 😉

     The service seems to have an issue with German umlauts, see e.g. https://de.fedimeteo.com/koln (instead of "köln"), which also manifests as bad hashtags (e.g. #koln instead of #köln).
