      ?

      edit: my client renders it as the actual character, even though it’s in a code block.

          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?
