Lemmy uses the CommonMark markdown spec. It is documented in the Lemmy documentation.

There is way to implement tables but I haven't found any official info. It is explained in this post - https://lemmy.ca/post/743625

To add a new line, you need to either add 2 spaces on the previous line or press enter twice.

Example 1. This is a first line, I add 2 spaces at the end
New line here

Example 2. After this line I press enter twice

New line here

Lemmy uses markdown formatting (for the most part, some things were added). Therefore:

A line break is two spaces at the end of your line

> This is a line.  
> This is another line.

This is a line.
This is another line.

A paragraph is two presses of the Enter key.

> This is a paragraph.
> 
> This is another paragraph.

This is a paragraph.

This is another paragraph.

Got it.
Thanks

It's not the simplest way to post something.
Will turn away lots of folks, i suppose. But it's doable.
I'm enjoying Lemmy a lot ;)

As the image already posted indicates, you have to double enter for a full break.

Like so.

Iirc, lemmy does line breaks with
Two spaces and an enter. I know reddit did. And, lemmy does as well lol.

So, if you want a full blank line between your paragraphs, you double enter. If you just want it to be on the next line, two spaces and enter.

Markdown is actually really damn nice once you get used to it.
