Comment on Self host Blorp, your personal Lemmy/PieFed frontend
cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 2 days agoYup, they all have trailing slashes when viewed on Lemmy, and 3/4 have trailing slashes when viewed on piefed. So only piefed actually respects what was originally typed. Lemmy adds a trailing slash when you’re adding the comment, and also adds a trailing slash when reading a comment posted that doesn’t originally have a trailing slash. Intriguing (and slightly annoying).

On a similar but unrelated note, Lemmy also displays the two-hyphens as an em-dash, but unlike the trailing slashes, it does not encode that into the comment, so on piefed you still see the two-hyphens in both comments.
Fun!

I see two separate dashes in voyager

I think that might just be how Lemmy’s default frontend renders markdown. The trailing slash thing happens at the API level. But a quick test shows submitting a comment with two dashes sends back a comment with two dashes.
