Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
I discovered it this week and I love it! 
Not sure how new the feature is.
It's easy. Just put the citation inside square brackets, and then preface all that with a caret. Like this: Beanis cures cancer.^[I made it up.] It automatically takes care of the numbering and shit.
Example:
Beanis cures cancer,^[I made it up.] and aliens will arrive next year.^[It was revealed to me in a dream.] More and more people are saying these things!^[https://hexbear.net/PPB]
hello^[goodbye] ^[adiós] ^[see you later], it's really neat you can do it on multiple on one portion.
Funny how the links don't work on comments though lol, it just directs to the post's footnotes
...Wonder if it works for comments if the post doesn't have any footnotes though
that funny, and perhaps? It also does something weird^[with like a second footnote in the footnote^[like this] or ^[or this]] where I guess like the first one in the footnote goes back to the preexisting one? and the second one just makes a new one
