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

    You can also use & to get &.

    Edit: Fuck, I meant &

    Edit 2: &

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

    Edit 3: &

    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.

    Again i'm having abiguity with works. I mean it shows as ampersand gt semicolon and not a single symbol for me. Are you reffering the same? Is it showing a single > symbol for you?

    Looks like a bug. But as long as they upload legitimate files, I don't see the problem.

    Maybe they're not PC users and maybe those are servers??....

    Haven't noticed this in Tixati. I've only noticed better d/l speeds since I switched over.
