    Some of the basic markdown seems to work. Stuff that works:

    • bold with double asterix
    • italic with Asterix
    • line/paragraph breaks (I think?)
    • block quote with >
    • inline code with `
    • this list 😅

      Not bad, but still far from parity. Interestingly, the line break is rendered as the correct <br> tag, but is visually identical to a paragraph break.

        Huh, that is interesting.

        Definitely a long way to go, but getting better cross compatibility with Mastodon would be very beneficial because I feel like Mastodon users are fairly similar to Lemmy users in terms of attitudes and interests, and they have a huge active userbase compared to us.
