I’ve been leaning on Lemmy communities for coding and self hosting tips. I tend to do most of my browsing on my phone and I’ve noticed Memmy doesn’t show any markdown in posts or comments.

  • Any alternatives to using Memmy that is known to support code markdown?
  • I’m not opposed to switching to the browser, but I don’t find the Lemmy.world layout particularly easy to navigate so I’d prefer an app or a good PWA

    Voyager and Memmy have markdown shortcuts in the comment editor.

    AFAIK, most if not all iOS support markdown even though some may not have shortcuts in the comment editor; you would have to type them manually.

        first of all, i’ve never seen any, not even Apollo for Reddit, that did live styling. The preferred method has always been to show the markup in the editor so the user can modify it before posting or easily edit it afterwards.

        second: what markup shortcuts are you wanting there to be? existing, end even past editors, typically only ever feature the most commonly-used markup in shortcuts simply due to space limitations in the interface. if you’re looking for shortcuts for things like tables and other advanced formatting, i doubt you’ll find that anywhere just because it’s uncommonly used and other shortcut bottoms would take UI/UX priority.

        stuff like that didn’t even get added to Apollo until its final versions, and, AFAIK it was the only Reddit app that had them. In your case, you’ll probably have to just learn to type it in manually like the rest of us.

                    I didn’t argue with anyone in my comment, and you’ve already had a comment removed by the mods for your rule breaking behavior.

                    Perhaps you should take a break.
