I like the idea of lemmy because it seems like a place people can have more in depth and less sensational conversations about things, which was my favorite part about OG reddit. I recently moved to Louisville and to my first city for that matter, and I wonder what y’all think about the crime rates. I looked at wiki crime stats for all major US cities and it seems to be about in the middle for most of them. Would you consider Louisville to be more or less dangerous than other cities you’ve experienced? Is it on a decline or an upswing? Holding steady? And what do you think people can do about reducing the number of incidents of gun violence, robbery, and assault?
I wrote a whole paragraph but I only see the first line on my end. Does anyone else see just the first line or the whole paragraph?
You created a preformatted text block (code block) by adding four spaces at the start of your post. That’s a feature of the text mark-up language called Markdown.
Normally all excess spaces are ignored. That’s just how HTML works, but when starting a line with four spaces (or more) Markdown makes that line use a monospace font and keeps all whitespace. (It probably renders the text inside an HTML <pre> tag which does this automatically.)
I’m assuming you did this because you’re old and you added an indent to your paragraph. I’m old, too, and learned to do that in school for typewritten documents, but no one does that anymore. Instead, we use a blank line between paragraphs.
Look at me, I'm intending (wrongly)! but I can make pretty poetry now. OR codeI’m not that old! People really don’t indent paragraphs anymore?
Your paragraph is there, it’s just in one line. Did you wrap it in a code block?
I see the whole graph
