Comment on Would I get banned here for being over active? I got banned from reddit because they thought I was a bot. And don't want to repeat the same mistake here. Thank you ahead of time.

    Links are easy! Use brackets [] to enclose your text and use parentheses () to contain the link.

    [Go here](sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/)

    The backslash \ is the escape character. That’s how I posted the above without it turning into an actual link.

    *text* for italics

    *text* for bold

    * text for a bullet point

    Plenty more, but those I the markups I commonly use.

    And can someone tell use how to paste code like on reddit?

      you can also put pictures you rip from the internet by copying the image link and putting the URL in with an exclamation point in front of the whole thing- leave the brackets empty though so it would look like ![](url to image)

      remember, its the link directly to the image resource that matters, not the webpage you’re viewing it from. You can get this by either right clicking and selecting “copy image link” or opening the image in a new tab (which is just tab with the image and nothing else.)

      Inline code in `back ticks`

      Multiline code
      in 
      ` ` `
      triple back tics
      ` ` `
      

      I don’t know how to escape triple back tics inside a code block, just ignore the spaces

  I keep hoping someone pulls that on me asking for a poem about cows, and then I can pretend to do it, but midway through the poem, it turns out I’m making it about their mom.

    Can I have a poem about cows?

    • BLAMM@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes, you may.

      In fields where golden sunlight spills, The gentle cows roam free, With patient eyes and steady wills, They graze contentedly.

      Their coats of black and white or brown, A patchwork on the land, They softly low as sun goes down, A calm and peaceful band.

      In meadows green, they form a line, Their bells a tinkling song, With quiet grace and gaze benign, They move the day along.

      Oh, humble cows in pastures wide, With nature’s rhythm true, In every step and every stride, The earth sings back to you.

        Ok that was pretty damn good …no sarcasm you should create a community for just poets like yourself. I think I would be your first subscriber.

  For baking, I recomend King Arthur’s Recipe database.

  The frosting is an american buttercream- IMO sub the shortening for the same amount of butter… (the shortening tastes worse, it’s there to improve the color. Butter gives a slightly off-white. If you’re going to be adding food coloring and don’t care so much about taste… you can use all shortening for very brilliant colors. But, like. I won’t eat your baking.)

  (the reason I recommend KAF for recipes is mostly because they sell flour so the recipes are more or less fool proof- especially for things like GF treats. And if you fall to the ‘less’ side, they have a hotline to help get you sorted. no need to buy their flour, though.)
