OK that doesn’t show here (Firefox on Linux), I actually copied the text into an editor, and searched for double spaces, and none were found.
Tried another Browser Falkon which uses QtWebEngine, and there are no doublespaces there either.
So apparently some browsers render Lemmy posts differently.
I don’t get it, what double spacing?
The double spaces between sentences. Tbh, it is kinda nice for readability.
If you were taught on a typewriter, you double space for life. It’s impossible to stop once ingrained.
I was taught by people who were taught on typewriters, and it’s still ingrained.

Browsers collapse whitespace unless told not to by the webpage CSS. I’m not using a browser though, I’m using Boost for Lemmy.
Ah that explains it. 👍
“Boost for Lemmy” I learned a thing existed today, that I was unaware of yesterday. Thank you for that!
I am happy to have accidentally helped someone. 😁 Take care!
Huh, I thought Markdown basically just ignored all extra whitespace
HTML in browsers ignores the whitespace, I think, not markdown specifically.
Plus, Markdown is more like guidelines than a standard.
This is the thing, yes. I’m using an app to browse Lemmy.
I really wish it would come back in style. I hate the single space after a full stop, it feels inadequate.
