Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Goood morning!! Today I ~have~ ~to~ ~work~ ~long~ ಥ_ಥ
(Not sure if every lemmy frontend can display subscript)
by subscript do you mean the two eyes? then yes I can see it. also good luck at work!
No it means ~small text~
It reads as strikethrough text on my browser :(
Noticed that on Mbin it's indeed strikethrough :( this is how I intended it to look (on voyager app):
Weird, strikethrough is simliar but only by having double of the tildes. ~~Does this~~ ~look the same to~ ~~you~~?
Reference for how it should look like:
Yes, “Does this look the same to you?” Is strikethrough.
If you're on the default Lemmy ui they don't implement it since it's not standard markdown, only some clients do
sadly in lemmy's own default web UI having space's between the subscript text will just render normal text with tildes on both sides. That's why I put tildes around every word. I recall there was a discussion half a year ago how every app / frontend has a bit different levels of support for markdown.
Yeah, i had to learn that the hard way :/ I think it's because it isn't standard markdown.
ahh thought that was already part of standard markdown :( hope they extend the markdown definition soon. It's getting crazy how many "flavours" there are!
I hope so too, but knowing how slow important standards are to update (understandably), we may not see it in a while, lol
Very true lol!
oh then yes I can also see that too.
