Markup differences between Lemmy and PieFed in community description

submitted by

This is how I see !webdev@programming.dev on PieFed.zip (1.5.0-dev):

And this is how it looks on the original server:

Maybe they changed the description, and the change didn’t reach PieFed.zip. Or both servers are interpreting the markup differently.

They use level 4 headline + _bold_. Strange.

Result:

_What is web development?_

It seems Markdown here doesn’t understand two underscores for bold. It understands one underscore for italic.

–> Markdown problem, independent of community descriptions.

I reported it: Two underscores for bold don’t get recognized by the Markdown parser #1545

My apologies for going off topic here, but how were you able to determine this? There doesn’t seem to be a way for me to view the markdown source for sidebars like there is for user comments.

API documentation and curl. 

curl -G https://programming.dev/api/v3/community --data-urlencode 'name=webdev'|jq '.community_view.community.description'

PS: I used jq in this example to look cool. In reality I piped all into less and searched for it like a savage.
