True, but sometimes people get overwhelmed when looking at the full guide rather than a “how to do x” process. Like looking at a man page vs. an example subsection.
Any time I can spread the good word of markdown, I’m happy to do so.
By the way, I don’t know which ones, but many Lemmy clients have buttons to simplify common markdown (links and images are notoriously easy to mess up). On my client, Connect, there are a row of buttons below the text entry area to help with formatting and syntax. It’s also how I upload images if posting from my local client rather than somewhere already online.
I don’t know your client, but it might be worth checking whether these buttons exist for you so you don’t have to remember / look up the syntax.
Lemmy uses markdown, so almost any “how” question can be answered by looking up “how to x in markdown.”
For example, the first DDG result for “how to post an image in markdown”: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/markdown-markdown-images
official guide is at https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/

This is a great resource, though, and thank you!
Thanks!
