How many germans do you need to change a lightbulb?
One. We are efficient and have no humour.
And always on the wrong side of history
One to change it and seven to file the paperwork.
Not true.
off topic but i've never seen this tg-spoiler before, it's much better than the normal click to dropdown one. looks good on piefed web ui but i clicked view original and it doesn't work on your own instance
comparison
Lol.
Using Sync for Lemmy as my client.
So who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dunno why the fediverse seemingly couldnt standardize on a certain markdown flavor.
Edit:
PS: Yours doesnt work on my client:
one of the last holdouts! More power to you! Its not been updated in almost a year now so its starting to fall apart as the api changes.
Nah, that thing was broken even in the beginning...
Problem is, that I used it for >4 years on reddit and since the first exodus and the announcement of the lemmy client I never was much in the mood to switch. And I like the interface, so theres even less reason to switch.
Oh well, am I right? :P
I had to switch to summit from sync during the last major lemmy update as it was breaking to many things. I miss it though. it was by far the best client (for me) and I hope dawson randomly appears with a patch that fixes everything... but his last post is over a year old and last major update much older lol.
If its still working for what you use it for good on you! im jealous!
May I ask whats broken for you?
A lot of picture dont work anymore only the thumbnails. Same for videos. Spoilers dont work as examples by this post. Sometimes I click a post and it shows the content but none of the comments load. Some of the other markdown language no longer works either.
