Yeah this tr*nd of cen*orin* wo*ds like t*is is fucking rid*culous.

Ok, how the fuck do I use asterisks without Lemmy thinking I'm itallican?

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

You gotta put a \ before the asterisk to cancel out the mark-up, like this: \*

(I used a second \ to cancel out the usual effect in the example. Fun fact, that cancellation is why the "shrug emoticon" sometimes loses an arm.)

I love markdown and stuff but also I'm sad I can't use "carat underscore carat" happy emoticons anymore because it mangles them lol.

No escapes:

Slash escapes like that neat trick up there...

Code block saves shruggie though!

I don't see how regex has anything to do with this, lemmy uses markdown for comment formatting
