to add to this, some things to know:
- any syntax can be escaped by prepending it with a backslash (
\). this won't appear in the rendered message - you can also do a line break without a paragraph break by ending the line with a backslash
- you don't have to do the numbers. start each line of a numbered list with
1., and the numbers will be generated automatically - lemmy also supports footnotes[^1] - documentation here, although the "longnote" syntax doesn't work
- you can view the source of any comment/post by pressing the "more" button, then the button that looks like a page. thus you can see how somebody achieved any markup (only available when logged in, for some reason)
- most of these are broken on at least some clients, particularly spoiler and footnotes

Two spaces at the end of a line in normal markdown
Testing now
I did not know that.
I did not know that.
Thanks!
This is a test of JGE's recommendation
Did it work?
Yes it did!
Thanks JGE!
For reference, that's how it works in Markdown. Two line breaks for a new paragraph, two spaces at the end of the line if you want it to break without starting a new paragraph.
