Oh, I am sorry! That was me experimenting with Lemmy's SDK to see if I could create a post out of a reddit submission. My original idea was to use the output from readability, convert it to markdown and then save in the "body" field, but only after I ran it on some of posts I noticed that I was getting a byte stream instead of a string. This is why the body starts with \b and has all the \n.
I edited the body on my post, but it seems that the updated has propagated through the different instances?
Also, it seems that the post you made yesterday didn't make to my instance. I need to find out if the issue is on which end is the issue.
