"host not found" when navigating to dev.lemmy.ml

[Bill Yikes]

The following command results in "host not found":

$ torsocks links2 https://dev.lemmy.ml/communities/page/1

Perhaps the ".ml" suffix is not being recognized as a TLD.

I can confirm this behaviour with any hostname I tried (including e.g. www.google.com).

The "problem" seems the interaction between links2 and "torsocks" (and also "torify" which does more or less the same).

It surely not a DNS or TLD detection issue, because both, "links2 https://dev.lemmy.ml/communities/page/1" as well as "links2 -socks-proxy localhost:9050 -only-proxies 1 https://dev.lemmy.ml/communities/page/1" (which is the official way of using links2 with Tor).

And "tor-resolve dev.lemmy.ml" works as expected, too.

It is though currently unclear to me, _why_ links2 doesn't seem to work with "torsocks" or "torify".
