@obi thanks for that, I think you might be right!
It looks like markdown isn't supported equally across the #fediverse, so I might try to avoid using it too much after all as that could lead to miscommunications. I suppose I could test out some syntax like this...
Perhaps the most useful bits are *italic*, **bold**, and `inline code`. I could also try another _italic_ and another __bold__.
- bullets can be `-`, `+`, or `*`
+ so I could test them like this
* something else to consider would be [links](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink)
So perhaps we can look at this post from various portals and see what we see?
@freeDomForTooting Yeah, I haven't seen all that many that support markdown. It will become more prevalent I think as time goes on.
@freeDomForTooting Someone was just asking about that yesterday that I replied to. I never typically use it, but tested a few with him. <i><em><b><strong> worked. Only one that didn't I tried is <smaller>. I have never seen documentation other than saying qoto supports it. App render different because maybe it has more explicit importance?
