    The two formats are similar, but distinct. I’ve added an explanation to the introductory post and pinned it.

    TL;DR: In a NoSafetySmokingFirst, the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues lead you to read it top to bottom. In a DontDeadOpenInside, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues lead you to read it left to right.

    There are is a separate Lemmy community for !dontdeadopeninside@lemmy.ohaa.xyz, but the current mods are a bit lax with the types of allowed posts :)

        massive thank you for moderating the community

        You’re welcome! Glad people enjoy it.

        You are a hero of the internet

        I think that’s a bit much :)

        I’m just a normal person who spends their free time in questionable ways. I think the real heroes are the instance admins and the software devs.
