    The easiest test would be seeing how it renders on an alternate KBin instance

    So, not op, but I just tested this. The issue OP is seeing doesn’t occur on karab.in and fedia.io the same way it does on lemmy, but I’m noticing that there IS an issue with how the markdown is federated between kbin instances.

    This is, verbatim, what I get on both karab.in and fedia.io:

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

    Notice how there’s no new lines / paragraphs and that some of the > (but not all of them) got changed into > and the receiving instance didn’t change them back.

    For reference, this is how it should be:

    Show off your hard work! (Not limited to just weight loss)

    Use this format when posting pictures:
    > Gender/Age/Height [Weight Before > Weight After = Total Amount Lost] (Time period in months) Personal title
    > Example: F/23/5’5" [289lbs > 250lbs = 39lbs] (4 months) I am very proud of myself!

    RULES
    > Be respectful
    > Support one another
    > No sexual comments

    (based on the subreddit)

    So clearly there is an issue with kbin itself here, whether or not lemmy has an issue too.
