    Someone woke up, saw the streaks of rain falling outside their window and went…

    “…hey, now I know what to call those strange water-thingies…”

    Also, pretty cool that Lemmy has furigana support. Didn’t know that.

      Whoa, cool! Never seen that before. Works with arbitrary text. thislike

      Unfortunately, it only seems to work in the web frontend. Does not work in Jerboa or Eternity, or on the old.lemmy web frontend. Also doesn’t appear to be documented. https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html . Not standard markdown AFAIK.

      I’d love to know more about where this feature came from and what’s needed to support it.

      Edit: The web frontend uses the html <ruby> tag, which I also did not know existed. Neat! https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ruby

      Edit 2: Lemmy’s open source, so I don’t need to guess! I looked it up and this feature appears to come from markdown-it-ruby, which is marked as a dependency under lemmy-ui

        Pretty cool to have a visitor! How did you end up finding about here?

        And didn’t know Ruby was part of the Lemmy UI
