Lemmy follows Commonmark. There's a spec and tutorial there
As well as some custom syntax that isn't covered for spoilers ie:
Sadly, not all Lemmy clients support it yet, so be careful with spoilers.
Voyager doesn't do spoilers, and I think it uses a different standard. It was giving me underscores when I would press the italics button...
EDIT: Looks like the standard still works though!
Does it actually, though?
I'm not trying to insinuate that it doesn't. I'm just jaded at how many mutually exclusive Markdown-adjacent standards there are out there, and how many implementations there are which claim to adhere to one of the major standards but in actuality either don't fully support it, extend it with their own nonstandard bullshit, or both.
