Noticed that my formatting does not render on Lemmy's end, why is that? Can it be fixed?
This is what Lemmy sees when it pulls your Mag through:
"name": "progresspics", "title": "Post your progress!", "description": "Show off your hard work! (Not limited to just weight loss) \\*\\*Use this format when posting pictures:\\*\\*\n\\\\\\> \\*Gender/Age/Height [Weight Before \\> Weight After = Total Amount Lost] (Time period in months) Personal title\\*\n\\\\\\> \\*Example: F/23/5'5\" [289lbs \\> 250lbs = 39lbs] (4 months) I am very proud of myself!\\* \\*\\*RULES\\*\\*\n\\\\\\> Be respectful\n\\\\\\> Support one another\n\\\\\\> No sexual comments \\*(based on the subreddit)\\*",As you can see, all your markdown is being escaped like crazy.
I don't know what the solution is.
It doesn't help that KBIN uses slightly different markdown than Lemmy (e.g. underscores for italics on KBIN, asterisks for italics on Lemmy)italics are single asterisks on kbin tho.
but damn, i wish there was a solution
Has Lemmy done any processing on that or is that exactly how it comes out of the kbin API?
I don't know - I just looked at KBIN's API reference and just as I was thinking "This is better than Lemmy's", it transpires that dev.karab.in isn't resolvable.
