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.
Thank god it isn’t people quoting posts and adding their amazing commentary such as…. “lol”

They’re not quoting. It’s just how stuff is written there

I went and found the thread for us, it’s just greentext, no quoting, it’s the second message and just clowning on Lemmy

That’s some dedication! Okay. I’ll accept I am incompetent.
I was starting to doubt myself so I had to check, haha.
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.
Oh. I can’t read.
