When i type something and press Enter, it switches to a new line. If i try to post, it all shows in single line. It’s confusing as hell. Am i doing something wrong? I use mobile browser.

    Lemmy uses markdown formatting (for the most part, some things were added). Therefore:

    A line break is two spaces at the end of your line

    > This is a line.  
    > This is another line.
    

    This is a line.
    This is another line.

    A paragraph is two presses of the Enter key.

    > This is a paragraph.
    > 
    > This is another paragraph.
    

    This is a paragraph.

    This is another paragraph.

    To add a new line, you need to either add 2 spaces on the previous line or press enter twice.

    Example 1. This is a first line, I add 2 spaces at the end
    New line here

    Example 2. After this line I press enter twice

    New line here

    It’s not the simplest way to post something.
    Will turn away lots of folks, i suppose. But it’s doable.
    I’m enjoying Lemmy a lot ;)

      Markdown language is actually very commonly used for posting to different platforms, reddit uses it for example, people coming from there will have no problem knowing out to post on Lemmy.
