A retiring teacher at our school had his class read a story that lit a fire under a bunch of parents. It was The Star by Arthur C. Clarke

Direct link since the closing parenthesis breaks the formatting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star_(Clarke_short_story)

The original link works fine for me, are you looking at it using actual lemmy, or an app?

Using Sync for mobile, it omits the closing parenthesis, but on web it works fine.

Sounds like the problem is with the app.

It is. Same happens to me often (also with sync). It's slightly annoying.

Strange if its broken for some it works okay when I click on it.
