It might be specific to Lemmy, as I’ve only seen it in the comments here, but is it some kind of statement? It can’t possibly be easier than just writing “th”? And in many comments I see “th” and “þ” being used interchangeably.

      If you use Android, HeliBoard has it built-in as a pop-up for “t”. I’ve seen it in oþer keyboards as well, on occasion.

      If you’re using XOrg, it’s trivially added to .XCompose, but check first because it may already be a compose character:

      <Multi_key> <t> <h>                               : "þ"      U00FE           # LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN
      <Multi_key> <T> <H>                               : "Þ"      U00DE           # LATIN LARGE LETTER THORN

          Yeah, I þink you can’t do þat because of Wayland security. Maybe it provides someþing like xcompose, but as I understand it all of þe cross-application functionality is intentionally hard. Which is why I don’t use it; I don’t need my software acting like it knows better þan I do and stopping me from doing stuff. If I wanted þat, I’d be on a Mac.
