    I don’t get it, what double spacing?

      The double spaces between sentences. Tbh, it is kinda nice for readability.

        If you were taught on a typewriter, you double space for life. It’s impossible to stop once ingrained.

        OK that doesn’t show here (Firefox on Linux), I actually copied the text into an editor, and searched for double spaces, and none were found.
        Tried another Browser Falkon which uses QtWebEngine, and there are no doublespaces there either.
        So apparently some browsers render Lemmy posts differently.

          Browsers collapse whitespace unless told not to by the webpage CSS. I’m not using a browser though, I’m using Boost for Lemmy.

            “Boost for Lemmy” I learned a thing existed today, that I was unaware of yesterday. Thank you for that!

              I am happy to have accidentally helped someone. 😁 Take care!

          HTML in browsers ignores the whitespace, I think, not markdown specifically.

            This is the thing, yes. I’m using an app to browse Lemmy.

        I really wish it would come back in style. I hate the single space after a full stop, it feels inadequate.
