        I don’t know what client you’re using, but this displays correctly on lemmy-ui and Jerboa, and it matches the Lemmy markdown syntaxt as documented. I’d suggest requesting your client fix its renderer.

        Clients seem to interpret the markdown differently. It displays correctly on the main desktop site.
