I discovered it this week and I love it! picard-excited Not sure how new the feature is.

It’s easy. Just put the citation inside square brackets, and then preface all that with a caret. Like this: Beanis cures cancer.^[I made it up.] It automatically takes care of the numbering and shit.

Example:

Beanis cures cancer,[1] and aliens will arrive next year.[2] More and more people are saying these things![3]

  1. I made it up. ↩︎

  2. It was revealed to me in a dream. ↩︎

  3. https://hexbear.net/PPB ↩︎

    Most of the Markdown documentation I’ve found says to put the caret after the opening square bracket, but Lemmy’s is different.
