Noticed that my formatting does not render on Lemmy's end, why is that? Can it be fixed?

This is what Lemmy sees when it pulls your Mag through:

      "name": "progresspics",
      "title": "Post your progress!",
      "description": "Show off your hard work! (Not limited to just weight loss) \\*\\*Use this format when posting pictures:\\*\\*\n\\\\\\> \\*Gender/Age/Height [Weight Before \\> Weight After = Total Amount Lost] (Time period in months) Personal title\\*\n\\\\\\> \\*Example: F/23/5'5\" [289lbs \\> 250lbs = 39lbs] (4 months) I am very proud of myself!\\* \\*\\*RULES\\*\\*\n\\\\\\> Be respectful\n\\\\\\> Support one another\n\\\\\\> No sexual comments \\*(based on the subreddit)\\*",

As you can see, all your markdown is being escaped like crazy.
I don't know what the solution is.
It doesn't help that KBIN uses slightly different markdown than Lemmy (e.g. underscores for italics on KBIN, asterisks for italics on Lemmy)

[–] euphoriaa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

italics are single asterisks on kbin tho.

but damn, i wish there was a solution

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Has Lemmy done any processing on that or is that exactly how it comes out of the kbin API?

[–] freamon@endlesstalk.org 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know - I just looked at KBIN's API reference and just as I was thinking "This is better than Lemmy's", it transpires that dev.karab.in isn't resolvable.
