Code blocks from Lemmy get mangled here on Kbin (kbin.social)

For example see this comment:

There are so many <span> tags inserted into the code block that it has become completely unreadable.

Is this a known problem?

So, slight correction to my previous post (which I now deleted) thanks to @troplin.

It seems that phrasing content like \ elements are allowed inside \ elements according to the spec, so Lemmy is actually doing the right thing there. It's on kbin to fix this, not Lemmy.

I commented on one of the closed issues about this on the kbin code repository, asking for the issue to be reopened. Hopefully it will so this gets fixed, I'm not sure though how visibility works if the issue is already closed. I'll make a new one if it's neither reopened nor replied to until next week, if no one else does first.
