I've been using lemmy for a while still i dont know all of its nook and corner or even how to properly use markdown in lemmy. I'm using voyager now and I dont know the major improvements of other apps.

Guys share all your experiments and experiences in lemmy, guide me how to use markdowns please. Show us the milestones of all apps and lemmy itself

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.
