Hah, you stumbled upon one of Lemmy’s weird UI quirks. If you start a line with a number and period, it assumes you’re making a numbered list. But that period is placed at a specific indent, so long numbers spill off the left side of the screen.
- Here’s what it is supposed to look like.
(Adding a line break here)
- And here is what happens when the number is too long.
It only works with 8 numbers or less though, because 99999999 is the highest value that the numbered list supports.
