#OpenStreetMap Belgium’s Mapper of the Month #MotM is @joost_schouppe.

If the name sounds familiar to you, it might be for many reasons. It could be for his past involvement as OpenStreetMap Foundation #OSMF board member, for leading the Belgian community chapter, or being a very active mapper.

While that is very cool, I have to say that post title is pretty much entirely unreadable...

[–] Mannivu@feddit.it 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's because this post was made using a Mastodon account which adds escape characters in the post tile.

@Mannivu @Cris_Color Indeed. I didn’t expect that… Sorry for the mess.

No worries, this is a new platform and it has its technical challenges. Its a cool post that I appreciated seeing nonetheless :)

I think it’s your app. Looks fine using voyager

[–] Mannivu@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that Voyager was developed to address this "bug", since I experience it on Jerboa, Liftoff and even on the web version of Lemmy.

Interesting. I’d say report the bug to the developers of the respective apps! (Or if it isn’t really a bug maybe a feature request for the apps/frontends to format it nicely)
