I've been using lemmy for a while still i dont know all of its nook and corner or even how to properly use markdown in lemmy. I'm using voyager now and I dont know the major improvements of other apps.

Guys share all your experiments and experiences in lemmy, guide me how to use markdowns please. Show us the milestones of all apps and lemmy itself

One fun tip is that if you're not sure how someone formatted a post the way they did, you can (at least on the default UI) use the "view source" icon to take a peek. It works on comments as well although you might have to click the three dots under a comment to expand and see all the icons.

If you're on an instance that doesn't allow image uploads and you're hosting externally, the most useful markdown for you is ![alt text](imageURLhere.jpg) which will embed the actual image instead of you just having to post a link.
