I'm one of the mods of !homevide@feddit.uk and I quite often post press releases of new and upcoming Blu-rays, 4K etc. The most annoying part was when copying and pasting press releases from websites, the formatting would be almost completely lost. Lists of special features would be transformed into block paragraphs.
But, the other mod of !homevideo found this web page where you can paste the text onto and it becomes converted into markdown text. I can then copy the new text and paste it into Lemmy and it now looks great, with bullet point lists preserved etc.
