How did they come up with this?

Someone on Reddit mentioned that too, makes sense!

{雨|あ め} is rain.
Really makes you think.

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. {this|like}

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. 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! developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/…/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

You mean this thread? It just popped up in my “all” feed. Using Lemmy’s new (as of 0.19) “scaled” sort method, FWIW.

Ahh, interesting to know this place hasn’t been de-fed by almost everyone yet lol
