I’ve been leaning on Lemmy communities for coding and self hosting tips. I tend to do most of my browsing on my phone and I’ve noticed Memmy doesn’t show any markdown in posts or comments.
!arctic@lemmy.world has good markdown support and if it’s missing anything the developer is pretty good at making sure the next update supports it.
This is probably the one for me, really digging the level of customization and it’s easy to navigate.
As far as I know, Photon also supports markdown in comments. Lemmy World runs that as an alternate frontend at photon.lemmy.world
Unless something changed, it has good PWA support.
Thanks everyone for the comments so far, I’m including 3 screenshots of how a post looks in all 3 locations (Memmy, Photon & Arctic)
I think Arctic is the winner for me, I like the layout and settings. Also Memmy removed the swipe from left to access subscribed communities and it’s been impossible to get out of the habit, Arctic seems to do it!

Voyager and Memmy have markdown shortcuts in the comment editor

first of all, i’ve never seen any, not even Apollo for Reddit, that did live styling. The preferred method has always been to show the markup in the editor so the user can modify it before posting.
second: what markup are you wanting there to be? existing, end even past editors, typically only ever feature the most commonly-used markup in shortcuts simply due to space limitations in the interface. if you’re looking for shortcuts for things like tables and other advanced formatting, i doubt you’ll find that anywhere just because it’s uncommonly used and other shortcut bottoms would take UI/UX priority.
