I can't believe it tastes different (lemmy.world)

Except "one-starring the original recipe because the modified recipe didn't work out"

Because otherwise it looks very reasonable instead of very not reasonable

I see your point. If you view the cells as separate contexts, then it would be necessary to specify that "the substitution" is the thing that didn't work out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

"It” refers to the substitution, not the recipe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I see your point now. For me it doesn't really read like it, because you have it in another cell of the table which gives it too little weight as a possible context for dereferencing the pronoun, while also having a valid noun preceding the pronoun begging to become referenced by it.

Yeah, I must be fun at parties, I know 😅

Lemmy supports tables? Damn, never seen one here in the comments. Good to know!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I was just winging it and it worked out!

Tables are supported on the web page (Lemmy.world using the default UI); they just didn't do it right (for the default UI).

Example:

Behavior	Reasonableness
Substituting applesauce	8/10
One-starring the recipe because it didn't work out	0/10

Markup used to construct it:

Behavior | Reasonableness
---- | ----
Substituting applesauce | 8/10
One-starring the recipe because it didn't work out | 0/10

Note that it's entirely possible that different Lemmy clients have different, mutually incompatible, Markdown implementations. I've already noticed one such difference: in the Lemmy.world default web UI, ~x~ does a subscript, but in my Voyager Android app, it does a strikethru.

You must be using a really old version of voyager. This was fixed a while back

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Could be. I'm using the F-Droid version, which tends to lag behind the Play Store version because of all the extra vetting they do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Can you check the version in "Settings -> About"? Some users have reported issues with F-droid auto update. F-droid should be up to 2.9.1.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

F-Droid had notified me to update Voyager to 2.9.1, but I hadn't bothered to do it yet.

For me it looks like this (thunder app btw):

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Which client is that? I'm using Connect and can't see the table

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Thunder renders a table, but it uses a library for most of markdown (except lemmy-specific like spoilers)
