Hi! This is just a friendly reminder letting you know that you should type the shrug emote with two backslashes to format it correctly:
Enter this - ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
And it appears like this - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
you can use codeblocks to show it how it is by the way
like this

Fuck you, I’ve been on Reddit long enough. Why the hell this is still a thing on Lemmy? Can’t you fix it or something?
It’s not a reddit or lemmy thing, generally backslash is used as an escape character in a lot of programming languages. Here and in reddit comments accept markdown and markdown uses backslash as escape character.
It’s a markdown issue due to how markdown styling works. It would be nice if we had a fancy editor like Reddit does since MD can be fussy in some circumstances, especially trying to make blank lines.
