2 to the power of something, then subtract one to make it an odd number.

What Lemmy client are you using? Looks OK on the web and Jerboa.
Sync for Lemmy.
Here's the source of their comment.
Sync still uses Reddit's markdown rules, Lemmy is a little different.
Well this was 8 months ago.

Still outstanding on Github

I assume the numbers never made business sense for them to continue development.
I guess so.
I was sorta waiting for Sync to become more fully featured before committing to an ad-free purchase, but I guess I should start looking for other clients again.
I use Jerboa out of habit because it's the first one I downloaded that more or less worked that also had the coloured bars down the side of the comments so I could keep track of what level of the comment thread Im looking at.
Heard good things about Thunder though.
Does it also have coloured usernames?
Back when I was still on Reddit I used Joey which, if a user commented more than once in a thread, their username would get the colour of the first "level" on subsequent replies. Any other username, including first comment, would be white/black (depending on night mode).
I've missed that feature on all alternative Reddit, and now Lemmy, clients I've tried.
No, never seen anything like that. Best we've got is the user avatars I guess.
I'm also using sync
I also use sync but the formatting and a bunch of other stuff is unfortunately pretty broken.
I don't think we will ever get a fix either ;(
Using Eternity and formatting was off for me. Second reply comment was good though
Using Boost and it's off for me as well.
I’m using Voyager and yours doesn’t work, but the person you responded to looks fine. Weird!
I'm pretty sure that's the telephone number of a flat in Islington where I once went to a party...
Yeah...they called but I told them it wasn't you.
Hope you hit him in his two heads
