When I try to do it on Linux, every time I type < it gets replaced with >. So I can’t do symbols or colors etc. I tested on my desktop Xubuntu (fails), steam deck (works fine using virtual keyboard), and windows 10 pc (works fine).
I am using a standard generic 105 key keyboard, the < key works elsewhere.
Someone posting content doesn’t necessarily have any idea where that content will be consumed. Perfect example is this conversation here—I’m posting on Mastodon, so the content is formatted appropriately for that protocol. If someone on Lemmy (or Firefish, Misskey, or anything else) is consuming this content, then it really needs to be that system that sanitises the content so it can be read most easily.

If someone like OP posts directly to linux_gaming @ lemmy.ml he/she posts to Lemmy and better accept its conventions and not add fucking hashtags there.
