I have been stopping myself from using those and instead restructure my sentence. But if people like it, guess I can start keeping it.
I do find it more useful, however, to have a kind of a reference to the thing written at the end instead [1], but markdown doesn’t seem to have anything for that, and using the syntax for Markdown references, is only useful for hyperlinks, or if the reader is willing to read the hover text 2.
[1]: Like This. I would love it if the markdown viewer would link the above [1] to this line. Maybe with a scrolldown effect.
Well ain’t that some shit. It would make my comments more readable to a degree[1]. I also like how they have return links for when you have some monster text wall that nobody would ever read in the first place on this platform.
Though for me, instead of a scrolldown effect, it reloads the page on clicking the link. Trying a second time, it does the scrolldown properly. Weird
But that’s just an implementation detail and as long as this is standard, I’ll just start using it.
I love it™ (The nested parentheses are one of the greatest tools known to mankind (And to all other creatures))
To paraphrase an old tweet: “parentheses - for when every thought comes with bonus sub-thoughts”.
I always tell myself I am reading minds when I read inside parentheses
Who’s to say you’re not (I won’t, at the least)?

Lemmy’s markdown does actually have footnotes![1]
they work like this:
^[text here]↩︎Eh, Lemmy Connect does not format it properly.
Neither does Voyager (Wefwef) :(
Checking in from Avelon 😉
Neither does Jerboa 💀

not that I’d ever use it ↩︎
And automatically numbered too! Nice.

People like these? I do em all the time but always feel I’m overexplaining.
