Yeah this tr*nd of cen*orin* wo*ds like t*is is fucking rid*culous.
Ok, how the fuck do I use asterisks without Lemmy thinking I'm itallican?
You gotta put a \ before the asterisk to cancel out the mark-up, like this: \*
(I used a second \ to cancel out the usual effect in the example. Fun fact, that cancellation is why the "shrug emoticon" sometimes loses an arm.)
I love markdown and stuff but also I'm sad I can't use "carat underscore carat" happy emoticons anymore because it mangles them lol.
No escapes:
^_^
Slash escapes like that neat trick up there...
^_^
Not even code block can save it.
^_^Code block saves shruggie though!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯Lenny is safe...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ...for now
Regex power!!!
I don't see how regex has anything to do with this, lemmy uses markdown for comment formatting
Awesome, and thank you so very much
