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

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.
the language is called "Markdown", same as what Reddit and Discord use, as well as many others
Discord markdown and reddit markdown aren't the same markdown, which I only know because I try to use ^ to make smaller words but discord won't do it.
I wonder ^if ^^lemmy ^^^let's ^^^^me ^^^^^do ^^^^^^this
It certainly does not. Maybe that's just a reddit thing. Or my app doesn't support it, idk.
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.
Thank you for the link. It has some examples, I guess that's what I'm asking for, and obviously what is included could be tweaked based on Lemmy differences, exclude things that are already in the quick format bar, etc.
I see icons along the bottom of the field, which I can tap for formatting changes. Could you check if you have something similar?
Yes, I have that (and actually found out it can scroll to the side and there is a quick link for strikethrough!) but I'd also like stuff like "embedding gifs" and other stuff that is not commonly known.
