For anyone interested, here's the Lemmy markdown configuration. As you can see, Lemmy's website UI supports the full commonmark spec (tutorial / official spec), plus a bunch of extensions. I don't think anyone's fully documented these yet, so I'll try doing so below. Apologies in advance to mobile users, this is probably gonna get ugly (see included image links for how it should look):
URL autolinking (plaintext URLs automatically turn into links)
Lemmy autolinking:
NOTE: No link will be inserted if the viewer is browsing an instance where the resource is not yet known/blocked
Communities: !fediverse@lemmy.ml→!fediverse@lemmy.ml (link ref: /c/fediverse@lemmy.ml)
Kbin-style is also supported: /m/fediverse@lemmy.ml→/m/fediverse@lemmy.ml
Users: /u/chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org→ /u/chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org (link ref: /u/chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org)
Typography substitutions:
(c)→©
(tm)→™
(r)→®
+-→±
...→…
---→—
--→–
???? (>= 4x)→???
!!!! (>= 4x)→!!!
Github-flavor Markdown extensions:
Tables
Strikethrough: ~~example~~→~~example~~ (image)
Subscript/Superscript:
Sub: example~sub~→example_sub (image)
Super: example^super^→example^super (image)
Footnotes:
Inline part: example[^notename]→example[^notename] (image)
Bottom part: [^notename]: Note text→(see bottom of post) (image)
Important: the bottom part must be at the very end of the post, otherwise both halves of the footnote will break!
Ruby Text: {example base text|example ruby text}→{example base text|example ruby text} (image)
"Ruby" is an html-ism for special pronunciation aids which frequently appear within young person's media where the language includes non-phonetic characters (e.g.: Chinese characters)
Japanese Furigana example: {凄|すご}い！→{凄|すご}い！(image)

- Your hyperlink to the Official Spec doesn't work for me on Vger. It launches my web browser without a URL and hiding down on the link doesn't reveal its destination.
  
  Nice catch. I messed up the formatting on that link by putting an extra pair of parenthesis in there -- fixed now.
  
  Confirmed that link is working now. Thanks for this useful info!
- I think this should be put on a page someone on Lemmy. Somewhere that's easy to find. The tables and stuff too.
