A standoff between the site and some of its most devoted users exposes an existential dilemma.

Not quite I think. I believe this uses markdown, which just uses the > at the beginning of a line

> This is a quote

should become

This is a quote

And if you need more lines, you just keep symboling

> 1
> 2
> 3

Feels like I'm back on Reddit circa 2015 LOL

This never changed for those of us who used old reddit ;)

I had no idea it was different for new Reddit, I never touched that interface except to hurriedly find my preferences and set them back to Old. :)

I think it has a wysiwyg editor or something.

[-] RosalynKirk@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Well it did because everyone on old Reddit already knew how to use it LOL

And I believe you can do a multi line quote with 3:

>>> hello darkness my old friend
I've come to speak with you again
More
Lines

hello darkness my old friend
I've come to speak with you again
More
Lines

Unless I'm wrong and this isn't actually working

Hmm well that looks like it worked too well

Nah, multi-line is just

> line 1
line 2
line 3

line 1
line 2
line 3

You only need multiple > if you want paragraphs:

> paragraph 1

> paragraph 2

paragraph 1

paragraph 2

You don’t need multiple > unless you want to quote paragraphs, see my comment further down
