You're viewing part of a thread.
Maybe your renderer?
Try this:

That should come out as:

I don't get it.
Are you replying to "Except fun fact…no." - u/Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world
Or to my reply to it, that implies, maybe their renderer is non-standard and causing the backslashes to not work.\>\>:|--> >>:| works pretty well for me.this is a whole mess of confusion and miscommunication that probably absolutely no one cares about, and I for one am happy to just watch
That shows up as two sets of eyebrows for me.
I see, so the confusion is about whether u/Pyro@Programming.dev intended the double eyebrow or they made a mistake with that and are being corrected for it.
I thought they wanted the double eyebrow, because why would you put 2 if you only wanted one? And if you wanted the "quote" option, you would just not escape the leftmost ">".
In case my above words are more confusing, Yes, it shows up as 2 sets of eyebrows for me too.
I thought that's what the Thread Starter wanted.No, they were trying to make only one set of eyebrows appear. They tried fixing it by using two sets, thinking using one as a quote would make the other appear as a set of eyebrows. Instead, they got two quotes.
Also, you type usernames on Lemmy like this: @Pyro@programming.dev.
@Pyro@programming.dev.
👍
But then they also went ahead and put backlashes on both of them. That makes me unsure.
Also, do your UIs not have the "Preview" and "view source" features?
