Nothing against Germans, I'm just wondering why, outside of the English internet, it got such high adoption in Germany compared to eg. France or Spain. I see next to no French/Spanish/etc. content on here in comparison

How many germans do you need to change a lightbulb?

One. We are efficient and have no humour.

[โ€“] azimir@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 day ago

One to change it and seven to file the paperwork.

off topic but i've never seen this tg-spoiler before, it's much better than the normal click to dropdown one. looks good on piefed web ui but i clicked view original and it doesn't work on your own instance

Lol.
Using Sync for Lemmy as my client.
So who knows ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Dunno why the fediverse seemingly couldnt standardize on a certain markdown flavor.

Edit:
PS: Yours doesnt work on my client:

one of the last holdouts! More power to you! Its not been updated in almost a year now so its starting to fall apart as the api changes.

Nah, that thing was broken even in the beginning...
Problem is, that I used it for >4 years on reddit and since the first exodus and the announcement of the lemmy client I never was much in the mood to switch. And I like the interface, so theres even less reason to switch.

Oh well, am I right? :P

I had to switch to summit from sync during the last major lemmy update as it was breaking to many things. I miss it though. it was by far the best client (for me) and I hope dawson randomly appears with a patch that fixes everything... but his last post is over a year old and last major update much older lol.

If its still working for what you use it for good on you! im jealous!

May I ask whats broken for you?

[โ€“] Master@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago

A lot of picture dont work anymore only the thumbnails. Same for videos. Spoilers dont work as examples by this post. Sometimes I click a post and it shows the content but none of the comments load. Some of the other markdown language no longer works either.
