be me friend is talking about a book he's been reading sounds super cool from how he describes it awesome magic and fighting and great plot etc etc etc look up the title later its a fucking chapter book What the fuck is it with these authors, who come up with such great ideas but then dont have the willingness to make it a manga or even a graphic novel? Fuck my life, I got excited over nothing

It looks like you tried to transcribe the greentext and include the > symbols. Lemmy uses a markdown interpreter thingy, so it got formatted as a quote.

In order to show those, put a backslash \ in front of it.

EDIT:
Also the markdown thingy is super disrespectful to newline characters (enter/return key).

In order to get it to actually put stuff on new lines you have to put two spaces after the sentence. Even the last one. I'm gonna use dashes to represent spaces on account of them being invisible otherwise.

Be sure not to double-space too fast on mobile tho as most phones take that to mean "put a period down"
