Keyboard issue with No Man’s Sky on Linux?

Has anyone playing on Linux tried to use the Text Formatting Guide?

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/qv6gy7/comprehensive_text_style_formatting_guide/

When I try to do it on Linux, every time I type < it gets replaced with >. So I can’t do symbols or colors etc. I tested on my desktop Xubuntu (fails), steam deck (works fine using virtual keyboard), and windows 10 pc (works fine).

I am using a standard generic 105 key keyboard, the < key works elsewhere.

It’s the bullshit that happens when people post to Lemmy from Mastodon. Should be banned IMO

@woelkchen That’s kinda the whole point of the Fediverse…

That said, yep, definitely needs to be some tweaking in how Lemmy handles content from other protocols.

The point is not to spam one platform with conventions of another, though. Hashtags and markdown have no place in Lemmy headlines. Being able to follow Lemmy content from Mastodon is great but when posting to Lemmy from Mastodon means that Mastodon users should adhere to Lemmy conventions and not force their crap hashtags onto Lemmy.

The hashtags were put there by OP, not the Lemmy software. I don’t know who put the markdown link there. My guess is was Mastodon and Lemmy merely accepts the crap Mastodon generates.

That does not answer their question. You apparently only read the title which was cut off because it was posted from the Fediverse.

Pro tip: if you post from Fedi to Lemmy, have a double line break between the title of your question and the actual question.

@Helix @Repossess6855 you realise its not obvious to anybody posting from fedi that it’s a lemmy thread? Its a lemmy issue, they need to sort out their integration.

I am sorry if it sounded like I was derogating non-Lemmy users.

The followup comments are no issue, only the initial post. see here how it looks: https://lemmy.ml/post/3965415

So the only one who “needs to be” aware about Lemmy is the original poster. And if they follow a Lemmy community, they are usually aware of that.

Were you aware of that, @hendric@astronomy.city?

And yes, I do also agree that the Lemmy devs need to fix integration into the rest of the fediverse. This software isn’t exactly known for being very well thought out in the current state. You can raise an issue here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

There already is an issue for the hashtags looking like arse, which is the main problem in this thread’s title: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3828

No Man’s Sky works great on Linux Mint. I’ve been playing it for a few years via Steam with Proton. Runs flawlessly on my system. Definitely worth checking out proton.db to see if there are any tweaks you may need to make, though. Enjoy! It’s a fantastic game!

@Emberleaf It does otherwise run great on my PC, just the weird keyboard thing is the only issue I’ve run into.

Which keyboard layout do you have? Maybe there’s an environment variable to change it in WINE/Proton.
