Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Except fun fact....no.

Maybe your renderer?

Try this:

That should come out as:

I don't get it.
Are you replying to "Except fun fact…no." - u/[email protected]
Or to my reply to it, that implies, maybe their renderer is non-standard and causing the backslashes to not work.

\>\>:| --> >>:| works pretty well for me.

That shows up as two sets of eyebrows for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I see, so the confusion is about whether u/[email protected] intended the double eyebrow or they made a mistake with that and are being corrected for it.

I thought they wanted the double eyebrow, because why would you put 2 if you only wanted one? And if you wanted the "quote" option, you would just not escape the leftmost ">".

In case my above words are more confusing, Yes, it shows up as 2 sets of eyebrows for me too.
I thought that's what the Thread Starter wanted.

No, they were trying to make only one set of eyebrows appear. They tried fixing it by using two sets, thinking using one as a quote would make the other appear as a set of eyebrows. Instead, they got two quotes.

Also, you type usernames on Lemmy like this: @[email protected].

@[email protected].

👍

But then they also went ahead and put backlashes on both of them. That makes me unsure.
Also, do your UIs not have the "Preview" and "view source" features?

this is a whole mess of confusion and miscommunication that probably absolutely no one cares about, and I for one am happy to just watch
