Comparatively to the rest of the internet, it seems like there are a lot more Germans here. I’ve always assumed it was just because I was on a German instance and was in a sort of echo chamber (join feddit.org btw 🥳), but I just checked Fediverse Observer and it’s the 2nd largest country by users. Additionally, the German instances seem to be the biggest non-English ones.

Why is this?

    Gotta use two newlines with Lemmy’s markdown, else it ignores it and then your comment comes out lookin a lil goofy

    But with a second newline it’s fine

        I write in markdown literally every day and I still have to edit my comments at least three times whenever I do anything other than a line break. It be like that lol

          i edit my comments 3-5 times after posting them because i keep adding info and correcting statements and drafting what i’m thinking lol. the first reply is literally just a “save draft” button for me. like i actually have to pay attention to how recently the parent comment was written to gauge how likely it is they’ll read my reply before it’s done. i have issues

          EDIT: im not editing this one

        also i think there’s a window of time within which you can edit your comment and it wont notate the edit. so no need to explain it!

      Or in other words: Use paragraphs.

      Line-breaks are ignored. (Unless you use backslash or double spaces at the end - which in this case would still not break off of being a quote).
