Right now Lemmy is unusable for writing code that contains less than/greater than signs because Lemmy's sanitizer treats that as potentially malicious HTML code.

Here's an example:

if(x &lt; y)
{
/* ... */
}

The listing becomes littered with < gibberish.

It actually looks perfectly fine on Sync for Lemmy so I assume this is only a front-end problem. There are alternative front-ends that you could try.

The 3 frontends for browser / PC that I know (default, mlmym and alexandrite) have this problem. Do you know of any other one that works?

Thanks!
