eli5 for why the markdown needed to change to be different on lemmy from "the other site"? Is this style markdown more standard elsewhere?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

Lemmy follows CommonMark, which is similar but not exactly the same as what was used in The Other Place. I do wish Lemmy supported some form of in-line spoilers.

Markdown itself is very old and afaik does not actually support spoiler tags (I don't think they were even a thing at the time). So every implementation of spoiler tags is just their own cooked up mess.
