It's always with markdown. Lemmy is the only web app that can access it without markdown. I explained it like four different ways now. If you don't understand it by now, you never will.
It worked for me and it's why I provided a full link. Since it was created on Kbin, it was escaped by Lemmy as well. So lemmy will display the app just like Kbin would. But anyone who creates a link on lemmy, it will always look wrong in every other web app or third party app. It's simply not possible for a third party app to display a link properly that was created by a lemmy user. Same goes for code boxes. They can only be displayed properly by Lemmy and no one else. It's not possible for third party apps to display them properly.
Lemmy is the only one that can display links and code boxes created by Lemmy users. Links and code boxes created by every other platform displays properly everywhere.
You're literally hand waving it away because it still works even though it's impossible to parse by any other app. Just because it is only aesthetic doesn't mean it's a bug. The bug affects jerboa more than Kbin. I still helped those users instead of your pretentious ass by saying "oh well, not my problem."
When there's a problem that only exists with lemmy, it's lemmy.
Do you need me to explain it yet another way? Do you need an ELI5?
You're the pretentious one speaking from some authority without having any clue what the fuck you're talking about.
I'm done. You're blocked so I won't be angered by any stupid replies from you.
Except Jerboa displays code tags just fine. There's also the view source function.
There are ways to solve the problem, they just haven't been implemented yet. That's up to app developers.
Shock horror. Something tells me they don't need me to get angered.
Edit: So, thinking on it some more for the benefit of anyone else, it would be perfectly possible to fix in Jerboa for lemmy. Jerboa just breaks out of the link but still shows the full url, only the rest of it is text and the bit in between two removed

is italicised. Jerboa is failing to inhibit for the link and applying markdown to it.Maybe on kbin apps it can't work, because kbin shortens the link in text and doesn't have a view source function. But kbin is not lemmy.
