Jokes and stories are often written that way there. Greentext. Actual quote and that greentext form of writing just use the same > arrow thingy. You see it here too sometimes.
I think there’s something fun about writing it like that. Reminds me of IRC.
I went and found the thread for us, it’s just greentext, no quoting, it’s the second message and just clowning on Lemmy
It’s not a comment ID number, it’s saying there’s basically “a gazillion instances”. It’s making a joke about Lemmy but just in greentext.
