So what’s the technological story here? I’m guessing lemmy itself uses a particular markdown parser that could probably be extracted and used in other contexts as it’s likely written in rust and should therefore be pretty portable without too much effort.
Are other apps just using whatever markdown parser is convenient to them? Is this something that the lemmy and threadiverse community could converge on? Even the fediverse as a whole where just about every platform other than mastodon supports writing in some for of markdown … feels like a pandoc like utility could go far.
I’m probably not the person to ask, to be honest. Lemmy as I understand it is the protocol that exchanges the information about posts, etc. The post content is stored and shared as plaintext, but Lemmy also has instructions about how a UI should interpret the text and serve it to the user.
Ideally, the same text should appear consistent across any UI. Obviously, some apps will use different fonts and colors and may interpret the style of an element differently.

Oh yea styling isn’t the issue here … it’s whether the markdown is correctly interpreted and rendered. AFAIU, lemmy doesn’t have any instructions about how to interpret the text, just some standard that they’ve chosen to use, along with their open source software for doing so (as they’ve built too clients, the default web UI and Jerboa).
Looks like you’ve gotten a few bites already after the recent community split but lemme know if you still could use an extra set of (chronically active) eyes.
I think the worst thing about a Mary Sue is when their success comes trivially or randomly.
What usually helps me is making the obstacle more specific and diving into those specifics when they’re problem solving. You’ll find most things we broadly group into large lumps, like martial arts, swordfighting, researching, medicine, ect. often have an overwhelming amount of details that not only separates good from bad, but also have specific dynamics that change depending on circumstances.
If you want to make the successes feel earned, include enough detail about the problem that you can tell a story with the challenges involved. If your focus is swordfighting convey the kinds of techniques your protagonist know then put them up against opponents that can counter those techniques so they have to learn. If you focus is a doctor then instead of seeking out the Medicine Flower™, try conveying the roadmap to making medicine to the audience then make a story out of the process.
I feel like Breaking Bad is a good example of this. It depends a lot on actual chemistry and every chemistry advancement is a plot point. Mainly it’s figuring out how to procure the ingredients and equipment without leaving evidence to get caught from.
“You see them everywhere.” That’s it? This opinion feels way too specific for that to be the only thing on your mind lol. Maybe at least some context? Are you from somewhere where people are less tall on average? Is there something you don’t like about tall people? Like the other guy said, give us a rant! Let’s hear where this is going.
There are a lot of image/gif(?) posts that I haven’t been able to view either on the Memmy (Apple) app or in-browser with either Safari (Apple) or Google Chrome. I imagine it comes down to the file types as well as the lack of native hosting to standardize posts of different media types, but I’m not the techiest person to consult on that. One downside of the fediverse is the lack of standards for file hosting/conversion/displaying to ensure that all media can be accessed regardless of the browser/app (or, alternatively, the lack of an all-encompassing app for all devices [Jerboa sounds like the closest to this to me but it is not available for iOS yet]), as well as the self-funded nature of the instances commonly not having the budget to natively host multimedia content such as videos.
If I were to try to decode this, he was probably released from Pierce County, WA lockup at 8AM on 6/24, immediately placed under arrest by them at that time on another warrant, and then picked up by Kootenai County, ID sheriffs who placed him under arrest at 3:22PM, and then drove him back to Kootenai County Jail.
Isn't it crazy though? People don't talk about it. They will talk about how you will get service regardless of your class in an emergency room. But they don't talk about the classism and the cultural biases that follow suit. I have seen homeless people hacked the fuck up, like actual hack jobs, because they needed things done and the medical system did the bare minimum to assist. People with their jaws exposed, hands sawed off with a criss-cross suture, people walking around like they were extras in a Silent Hill film (that one was on Baltimore). I don't even know how we can be so fucked up as a people. Like...someone give that woman something other than her jaw just having to be exposed to the elements, right? And if it's an addiction thing - give her the drugs she needs to fucking weather the storm because it's not like she's going to be any less of an addict because she needs surgery and it's not like this is the thing that's going to turn it all around.
The thing I always do ponder though, because legitimately it's fucked how so many people have to live their lives. (I've known three people I can think of off the top of my head who have died because of things that could have been avoided - but really more than that - but I am talking like...cancer and what not). But either way I do know that addiction is a social disease. And in that sense I don't think it's healthy for people in active addiction to be around joe-schmoe. In the sense that everyone is fighting some kind of battle and you could become the next victim before you know it. But I also don't think people should be having to live like wild dogs. And fentanyl has such a shitty fix from what I hear, that you're pretty much sick (withdrawing) all the time. I also heard that China has whole clean corporations setup for the distribution of x-drugs. I mean look, it's not going to cover the meth addicts. I don't really know what could help them. But I swear to god, if we got steady fixes to more opiate addicts this world (or at least this country?) would be a more stable place. I just don't know what that looks like big picture. I would say maintenance like methadone. Maybe it's not a one-size fits all thing (cause it more than likely isn't). I can't say it's just getting them a house, because I used to work at a place like that and every mother fucker was using and it was a pit of chaos. Idk...I wish I knew. I wish I could snap my fingers and make everything better.
But on a whole, I wish the world (let alone America) did health (mental x physical) much better.
