Keyboard issue with No Man's Sky on Linux?

Has anyone playing on Linux tried to use the Text Formatting Guide?

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/qv6gy7/comprehensive_text_style_formatting_guide/

When I try to do it on Linux, every time I type < it gets replaced with >. So I can't do symbols or colors etc. I tested on my desktop Xubuntu (fails), steam deck (works fine using virtual keyboard), and windows 10 pc (works fine).

I am using a standard generic 105 key keyboard, the < key works elsewhere.

@woelkchen That’s kinda the whole point of the Fediverse…

The point is not to spam one platform with conventions of another, though. Hashtags and markdown have no place in Lemmy headlines. Being able to follow Lemmy content from Mastodon is great but when posting to Lemmy from Mastodon means that Mastodon users should adhere to Lemmy conventions and not force their crap hashtags onto Lemmy.

That said, yep, definitely needs to be some tweaking in how Lemmy handles content from other protocols.

The hashtags were put there by OP, not the Lemmy software. I don't know who put the markdown link there. My guess is was Mastodon and Lemmy merely accepts the crap Mastodon generates.

@woelkchen
I generally agree, except:

Someone posting content doesn’t necessarily have any idea where that content will be consumed. Perfect example is this conversation here—I’m posting on Mastodon, so the content is formatted appropriately for that protocol. If someone on Lemmy (or Firefish, Misskey, or anything else) is consuming this content, then it really needs to be that system that sanitises the content so it can be read most easily.

Someone posting content doesn’t necessarily have any idea where that content will be consumed.

If someone like OP posts directly to linux_gaming @ lemmy.ml he/she posts to Lemmy and better accept its conventions and not add fucking hashtags there.

You missed the point they likely don’t even know it appears here
