Not to change the subject, but your italicized “are” made me realize that Lemmy uses a different font for italic content (see the letter A). There’s another message down below deleted by creator which has the same style. I know, it’s a weird thing to notice, but there was a blog I saw this week mentioning that scammers are using websites with a (I think?) Cyrillic ‘a’ that looks just like the italic one here to fool people into thinking they’re visiting a legitimate site, so that little discrepancy stood out to me today. At least now I know I’m paying attention! 😆
The closest thing I have is Ghostery, which is just an inspector. I don’t use any extensions to modify the code of a page, so yeah I’m not sure either. I also use Firefox, just checked this at work and I’m seeing the same results. And the dev tools here agree with your findings – both normal and <em> text are using the same font. The only thing I can think of is that the font itself (on my Linux computers) have a different “A” for the two styles. Ah well, not something I care enough to dig in to further, I just thought it was odd to see that discrepancy.

Interesting. I’m not sure that’s a Lemmy thing per se, maybe specific to your client, or some extension or something altering CSS?
I just checked in my browser’s inspector, and the italicized text’s <em> tag has the same calculated font setting as the main comment’s <div> tag.
FWIW, I’m using Firefox with my instance’s default Lemmy web UI.
