Is it possible to follow communities in an instance like https://libreddit.kavin.rocks/r/ProfessorMemeology with a lemmy client?
The closest you can get is https://lemmit.online/
It’s a lemmy instance which mirrors some subreddits

No; libreddit is just a read-only frontend for Reddit.
You’d probably have to jump through several hoops to make that happen. Libreddit doesn’t offer any ActivityPub API to follow directly, or even RSS feeds that might be used by a bot to post updates to Lemmy.
But subreddits still provide an rss feed, just add
/.rssat the end, like this should work with any rss reader: https://www.reddit.com/r/fediverse/.rss So theoretically it should be possible, until they shut this “loophole” downYeah, I don’t know anything about the state of open Reddit endpoints. Seems they’re intent on closing down non-Google/Gemini access to some of them? 🤷
But if the
/.rss“hack” helps setting up a Lemmy bot or at least track the communities with a feed reader, that’s a small victory I guess?
Bots shat themselves here (or people writing like bots, no difference ¯_(ツ)_/¯).
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 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.
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.
Accidentally deleted my original comment, so I rewrote it; not sure why other people copied it verbatim.
There is some delay in federation, so it’s possible that some users saw both of your comments. I remember once got upvotes on a comment I deleted instantly.
