I’m looking for a way that’s appreciated by the community and doesn’t break any rules. I just created one that I think was missing here.

    Great answer … came to say the same!

    Reposting with better formatting though (no blank lines in between bullet points)

    • Mention it in adjacent communities.
    • Cross-post posts from it onto related pages and be sure to watermark OC and link to the original post.
    • Link to the community on other social media pages.
    • Engage with every post and comment your community receives. People will be more likely to return to a community where they think they’ll get interaction and feedback for their engagement.

        In the web interface the white spaces disappear and destroy the bullet points, which is not what you see I presume and objectively worse. Interesting that the apps are using different markdown parsers, which is dangerous given that each have their idiosyncrasies.

          As someone who used to do web dev & design, I’d die and go to heaven if any two environments managed to render with a passing resemblance between them (especially between environment type – web, mobile, pc, refrigerator).
          That sounds like a good candidate for an open source library, if it isn’t already, right? Standardise more things?

            Well lemmy is using a package to process markdown that is OSS as far as I know, so it should be possible to bundle that with any app.
