The instance has now been upgraded up to 0.19.1 from 0.18.5
Due to some authentication changes you will need to log in again and set up 2fa again if you had it previously enabled (since the 2fa process changed to prevent people locking themselves out)
Code Highlighting
If you make code blocks using the three backticks method the code in it will automatically be highlighted based on the detected language (in lemmy-ui aka the site)
Surrounding in 1 backtick lets you do it inline
E.g.
`console.log(“hello world”)` becomes console.log("hello world")
```
console.log(“hello world”)
```
Becomes
console.log("hello world")
The blocks will be light if youre on the light theme and dark if youre on the dark theme
Instance Blocking
This is for lemmy-ui, alt frontends may not have support yet or may be done a different way
Go to your profile settings by hitting your name, then settings in the top right
There should be a blocks section you can switch to. Go to the instances part of that and search for the instance you want to block
Blocking an instance will prevent you from seeing posts from that instance
Scaled sort
When you go to choose a sort while browsing posts you should see an option called scaled. This is hot but takes into account the active users to boost communities that need it. (E.g. a community with 20 active users will be shown more than a community with 10000)
Remote following
You can follow a community while browsing it from the site of another instance. To do this just hit subscribe for the community while not logged in on that other instance and it’ll bring up a pop-up where you can enter your instance you want to subscribe from

1 -> yep, to make it a certain language put that language after the first three backticks. For inline you can do it using curly braces after the second backtick with a dot and then the language in it
```abnf
x=4
```
`x=4`{.haskell}
x=4
`x=4`{.js}
x=4
2-> https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-it-highlightjs is the specific one but its basically just a wrapper around highlightjs
3 ->
unknown, I didnt mess around with that when implementing them and I dont think it supports it.edit: can probably be added manually by messing around with css. Ill do a pull request after my examsThanks!
I had a look and it can be set by setting
font-family
inside the.hljs
block within the theme (e.g.atom-one-dark.css
).Yeah setting that to
monospace
so browser determines it. Should just be two lines, one for each themePull request maybe coming late tomorrow and then it’ll probably be in 0.19.2
Honestly that sounds good to me, but not everyone configures their own preferred fonts, so it may not be a crowd pleaser. It’s not too bad for me to just override the style on my side.
