    I’ll post a back trace later. I understand the dependence on markdown-mode, but why also an external markdown executable? You could just let markdown-mode fontify the text and people can hide the markup symbols if they like. I use markdown-mode a lot and it never once occurred to me that I needed a markdown converter.

    EDIT: Things seem to be working now that I have epg-pinentry-mode set to 'loopback, so I won’t post the backtrace after all.

      glad you got going!

      thanks for opening issues in the repo.

      bindings are just work to do. development moving v fast, mainly I’m just still trying to add basic features. eg posting is only 4 days old.

      I’m not sure about the markdown issue, I just require markdown-mode. mayb I use a fn in the mode that requires the binary.

      Lemmy uses markdown, so to render post content I take the markdown data, render it using markdown-mode, then render the HTML output.

      not sure how else to do that, nor how to not rely on markdown mode.

      I shd look into it more, but mainly I had to just find my own way, as Lemmy is hardly documented at all.

      feel free to make more requests, its easier than fumbling along alone.
