From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why are you shouting?

Seems like someone is new with Markdown notation haha :-)
You probably tried to write "number 1 [...]" but the hash (#) converted your whole text to a Heading level 1.

I'm very aware of markdown I use every day for work. The thing is I assumed they where referring to the way the text appeared to them. But out of the 3 different clients I use for Lemmy on mobile, the mobile site via chrome and the desktop site via chrome none of them render comments in markdown for me. So how are you all seeing markdown rendered in comments on lemmy? Everyone just assumes what they see is what everyone sees.
Fair enough, I was only joking haha. I'm using both Sync and Eternity (known as Infinity for Lemmy) and both clients render Markdown. Can't say for others clients. Seems like not every client see the same thing...
Good to know, looks like a few clients do render the markdown in comments.
