I'm not a smart man, Jenny. Could we get a Lemmy formatting helper pop-up in the comment/text entry box somewhere? (lemmy.world)

There is probably a link somewhere but it would be nice to have the essentials in the boost comment/post forms somewhere so that if I'm trying to remember how to link a user/forum/instance or how to strikethrough text it would be right there.

Because markdown by itself is more of a set of suggestions than hard rules. Kinda like saying that Americans and Australians both speak English and the basic syntax is the same, and you can go outside with a fag wearing only thongs with both, but...

Even reddit has two, new and old reddit use completely different parsers and result in different ouputs.
