Jokes and stories are often written that way there. Greentext. Actual quote and that greentext form of writing just use the same > arrow thingy. You see it here too sometimes.
I think there's something fun about writing it like that. Reminds me of IRC.
It's not a comment ID number, it's saying there's basically "a gazillion instances". It's making a joke about Lemmy but just in greentext.
Oh. I can’t read.
