Code blocks from Lemmy get mangled here on Kbin

For example see this comment:

There are so many <span> tags inserted into the code block that it has become completely unreadable.

Is this a known problem?

The issue here is that Lemmy is federating out it's content with the pre blocks containing rendered code fit for some sort of code display plugin/CSS - which KBin doesn't have.

It would ideally send out the blocks html encoded and would let downstream implementations like KBin or others figure out how to display it themselves. I don't know how we would fix this.
