Side note: Ooo neat, bracketing something with tripple * makes it bold. TIL.

Side side note: Not just bold but italicized as well. Cool.

I don't know, but it works on Liftoff - if what you wanted was monospaced text (like in programming).

Simple explanation: lemmy uses markdown under the hood. In markdown, one star *surrounded* things are italics; two start **surrounded** things are bold. Three stars basically '* **combine** *' both to make: italic bold.

italic * | bold ** | bold italic ***

To make monospace font, use ` as brackets.

To quote, begin the line with >

this is a quote
