    It is also likely a victim of the annoying way reddit deals with single new lines because at least from my memory on my phone if you only hit enter once to make a new line it will just put both lines together into a single one.

    Also the repetition of see a see a is the kind of thing I often do on my phone keyboard accidentally when trying to edit things, just usually catch it.

      It’s called Markdown. If you know how to use it, it’s very convenient, but if not, it can cause all kinds of unexpected effects. It’s also the reason that **test** is formatted as test. You can often force new lines by ending the line with two spaces or a backslash character. Let’s test:

      This is a line
      And this is another line

      In this case it was a backslash character. So what I typed is:

      This is a line\
      And this is another line

      With spaces:

      This is a line
      And this is another line

        Huh, didn’t know that part of markdown, cool! I knew Lemmy used it and a fair amount of other common things in it but not the new line stuff. Learn something new every day, thanks!
