So what’s the technological story here? I’m guessing lemmy itself uses a particular markdown parser that could probably be extracted and used in other contexts as it’s likely written in rust and should therefore be pretty portable without too much effort.
Are other apps just using whatever markdown parser is convenient to them? Is this something that the lemmy and threadiverse community could converge on? Even the fediverse as a whole where just about every platform other than mastodon supports writing in some for of markdown … feels like a pandoc like utility could go far.
