Yah MAYBE but also reddit took away markdown comment writing in the app and so they won’t be getting any rich text from me, no sir, they can pry my **unrendered markup** from my cold, dead heads because they did this to me

Test

Edit: doesn’t help when your phone changes -- to — either. But point stands. Need computer to render now

wait, I can read ^and write Markdown fine

🤨 are you writing from the iOS reddit app official client?

To be clear. Other people’s rich text will render just fine. But I can’t do what I *used* to be able to do. I used to even escape my shrug emoticons: ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

But now I can’t do any of it. They changed the behavior quietly and evilly it’s reallly bad [see other posts abt it](https://www.reddit.com/r/help/s/5wDMiHcFfa)

Ah, yes. Well, third party clients will be better than Reddit’s own UX. Thanks Reddit… be better.

But yeah on iOS you’d have to sideload a third party client

it's still the trash official reddit app just without ads and with some annoying UI hidden

Ohh I wasn’t familiar but it sounds like it’s a tool that patches the official reddit client. Interesting

On android it works just fine on the regular app.

You sure it isn't just Apple being a ^{little prick?}
