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
