    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: &

        finally someone who understands the pain

        lemmy doesn’t resolve html entities if put in a code block but sync does

        “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.

            doesn’t for me. definitely a client issue. these little quirks are what keeps programmers up at night.

              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?

                yup. sync seems to parse it and take any & code and renders it as the actual character. lets lest it.

                 " µ ´ ₫ & > <
                

                edit:

                i’m even more confused now
