See attached image, the post is clearly referencing a topic, not intended to be a heading. I've similarly seen blog posts that start with "#".

At the very least, headings should be excluded from title markup.

There's a toggle for this: Settings -> Post feed -> Post markdown in headers

I'm also considering just escaping the first character if it's a #

Edit: It's going in the next release. I hate doing something so one off but this issue has come up a few times before and I think this change is worth it. Starting in the next release if the title starts with a # it will be force escaped. This will break posts where the author intends to format the title in large letters but I think this is such an edge case (and also annoying) that the drawback is ok.

Even then I think this might be a good solution. This prevents users abusing this to get attention. I don't see a legitimate reason the receiver would like some titles to be larger than others

Thanks, completely missed this option

I've noticed these too and they can be quite annoying. Never realized it was from hashtags, but it makes so much sense now lol.

For now, you can disable markdown in post titles via the "Posts feed" settings page.

See the other comments below, a new version has been released several days ago that fixes this properly
