Right now Lemmy is unusable for writing code that contains less than/greater than signs because Lemmy's sanitizer treats that as potentially malicious HTML code.

Here's an example:

if(x < y)
{
/* ... */
}

The listing becomes littered with < gibberish.

It actually looks perfectly fine on Sync for Lemmy so I assume this is only a front-end problem. There are alternative front-ends that you could try.

This is what it looks in the web UI: Screenshot showing the bracket turns to ampersand lt

This is how it looks on Sync, seems like he's a front end issue.
