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! picard-excited 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]

Cool

I might use this next time I do a snarky effort reply to a lib. Does it work anywhere else? Has reddit implemented it? I like to copy paste my effort replies often.

It seems to be implemented slightly differently elsewhere, which would complicate your copy-paste efforts.
