==============
This is a first line This is a second line This is the third line.
==============
These all appear on the same line eventhough I wrote them on separate lines
If I add a “enter” after each line, they’ll appear on separate lines, but have white spaces in between.
==============
This is the first line
This is the second line
This is the third line.
===============
Now I only add two spaces behind each line and they’ll appear just as I wrote them

This is the first line.
This is the second line.
This is the third line.

ITT people realising what markdown is.
One time on Reddit there was a whole thread dedicated to how awful and arbitrary and stupid the “undocumented” comment feature was.
I just linked the markdown docs and got downvoted to hell because “reading the manual is unintuitive”
Comments truly did kill that platform

You have given me power that I should not have.

Doing the Lord’s work
This assumes your Lemmy client uses a good markdown library.
Yes, this assumes you’re using a good Lemmy client
This assumes you’re using a client.
Look behind you.OH YOUR GOD!
NO!
THE HORROR!
I didn’t know this, and I found it super helpful!
I also didn’t know about backslashes
I just used double carriage returns like a wild savage!Thanks very much :)
A simple search for lemmy markdown would tell you all the different textual options for a clean Lemmy comment/post
Reddit was like that too.
Because the line break in markdown is two spaces.
Markdown is pretty great to work with.
Oh
My
God
This is awesometest

FUCK YEAAAAAHHH
Cool discovery.
This post is a good resource for other Lemmy formatting tips and tricks.
I recently discovered that Lemmy’s desktop site shortens groups of more than 3 exclamation points and groups of more than 3 question marks in a row down to only 3, and that pairs of periods will be rounded up into an ellipses.
I’d like to see a community to help document all of the obscure formatting tricks and quirks for Lemmy.
Edit: You can apparently circumvent Markdown formatting by putting a backslash \ in front of the command to format. For example, if you wanted to start a line with the greater than symbol >, you can put the backslash \ in front of the greater than sign > to prevent the text from being formatted as a quote
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who sold crabs from out of a bucket
He made seven pence
and took home the scents
He thought he’d become Warren BuffettThere once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket
His daughter named Nan
Ran off with a man
And as for the cash, Nantucket
I couldn’t get it to work.
I’m on sync and my formatting had to be
<Text [Space] [Space] [Enter] Text>
Dunno if it’s an app thing or an instance thing
I’m on sync as well. Also compounded by my phone auto typing the word with 2 spaces.
There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose dick was so long he could suck it
He said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin
If my ear was a cunt, I would fuck it
I always defaulted to a bullet list.
No moreOk this was awesome. I wondered what I was doing wrong.
You can also add a \ to the end
of the lines and have only single spaced
line breaksThough I think they may break in one of the mobile apps with a funky markdown interpreter.
Edit: For clarity, here’s the same lines in a codeblock
