There is probably a link somewhere but it would be nice to have the essentials in the boost comment/post forms somewhere so that if I’m trying to remember how to link a user/forum/instance or how to strikethrough text it would be right there.

      Discord markdown and reddit markdown aren’t the same markdown, which I only know because I try to use ^ to make smaller words but discord won’t do it.

      I wonder ^if ^^lemmy ^^^let’s ^^^^me ^^^^^do ^^^^^^this

      It certainly does not. Maybe that’s just a reddit thing. Or my app doesn’t support it, idk.

        Flavors of markdown are slightly different, but they share a lot in common. Also Boost has slightly different rendering than the Lemmy website UI, specifically with the spoiler tags

          True, I feel boost is really lacking in displaying correctly markdown. Spoilers not being hidden are really annoying.
          For reference this post highlights Lemmy apps on how accurately they display markdown. And this comment use all markdown to test how your current app is rendering them.
