It’s because some chars aren’t decoded properly. &amp should be rendered as just &. Hinting that more than this is not properly rendered

edit: my client renders it as the actual character, even though it’s in a code block.

I got a notification when you responded and it was “>” but it renders correctly once I open the post.

edit fucking hell it did it even in quotes, I meant >

had to use a greek question mark so it doesn’t render

Correctly or wrongly? yours renders ampersand gt semocolon as > only in code block and not in my sentence?

“wrongly” if in a code block for sure

I use Sync for lemmy, it’s a mess but it’s the app that’s the closest to Joey for me. They charge 30$ to remove ads or 135$(lifetime, it’s like 3$ monthly) to be able to import/export communities lmao

Lmao. But quotes won’t change anything i guess. But monospace should do or you maybe able to escape the characters with backslash \

Lemme try >

Edit : yeah this works for me.

You can also use & to get &.

Edit: Fuck, I meant &

Edit 2: &

Okay nevermind, either lemmy or sync resolves html entities recursively apparently.

finally someone who understands the pain

lemmy doesn’t resolve html entities if put in a code block but sync does
