i care about fake internet points because i want to share things people like. if they don't like it, i'll enjoy it myself, but i won't bother sharing it

no worries, here's the actual documentation. apparently there's a third syntax that i never use as well

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

lemmy supports two footnote formats

the basic type like so:

comment body here[^1]

[^1]: and the footnote at the very bottom of the comment

or the easy to write type

comment body here^[and the inline footnote]

(note the different locations for the caret)

keep in mind that they don't work on most apps, and some frontends

of course they do: they've only got one kidney, so it's more important for them to get a replacement quickly

alright, i was being facetious. a cursory search [says(https://healthmanagement.org/c/icu/news/organ-donors-who-need-kidneys-go-to-top-of-transplant-list) this, but it's the states only, and i have no idea if it's true or not. i imagine not, but i don't know

actually i almost went for sdf instead of l.ee. the reason i didn't was that it seems almost too good to be true? i see so many sites around that proclaim they're hosted on sdf, the biggest text on their homepage says "create a free account" and yet there isn't a donate button

i realise there's one on their lemmy instance, and i might choose them if l.ee does fold, but i felt like i was taking advantage of something meant for others

ah, but[^1] if you donate a kidney you go to the top of the queue

you're losing one when you don't need one, and receiving one when you do

insurance salesman here[^2], just in case that might have gibt unnoticed

[^1]: to the best of my knowledge

[^2]: obviously not

yeah you're right, but i'm not (just) being funny when i said that - lemmy.world had only just started when i joined (10 days), still had the old (much nicer) icon and no banner, etc. it had 188 users / month, compared to .ml's (at the time) 1.8k and lemm.ee's (current, according to the above infographic) 3.7k...

actually this is incredible how fast it grew

well actually, i did recently make a backup acct. on lemmy.dbzer0.com...

[–] Zeus@lemm.ee 24 points 2 years ago

but what if going away makes it worse? .world's downtime has only increased since i made my l.ee acct

goddammit

i joined dxcomplex because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn't fold (and i liked the name);
then it folded so i joined .world because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn't fold (and i liked the name);
then it got massive so i joined lemm.ee because it was the smallest instance i was confident wouldn't fold (and i liked the name)

i'm starting to wonder if i'm cursed
