What do you think is a proper way to advertise a community on Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

I'm looking for a way that's appreciated by the community and doesn't break any rules. I just created one that I think was missing here.

In the web interface the white spaces disappear and destroy the bullet points, which is not what you see I presume and objectively worse. Interesting that the apps are using different markdown parsers, which is dangerous given that each have their idiosyncrasies.

Oh that’s no good!

Should post this to a Fediverse community… maybe there’s already a thread.

I mean Voyager should just use the same markdown processor as lemmy does. I don’t know how jerboa (the official mobile app made by the lead devs). But something similar should probably be done.

Ah so it’s a Voyager inconsistency then. In a way it’s appreciated behavior but problematic as well.

Also I posted this from Voyager - web displays &, Voyager iOS displays & without the amp;. Another case for using the same processor sounds like!

Edited to try to correct escaped text, but I can’t remove the amp-semicolon after the ampersand symbol in the second escaped section

As someone who used to do web dev & design, I’d die and go to heaven if any two environments managed to render with a passing resemblance between them (especially between environment type – web, mobile, pc, refrigerator).
That sounds like a good candidate for an open source library, if it isn’t already, right? Standardise more things?

Well lemmy is using a package to process markdown that is OSS as far as I know, so it should be possible to bundle that with any app.
