The only two things formatting makdown consistently, for now, are Jerboa and the web interfaces.

I’ve been posting a lot of poetry using some markdown witchery to format, only to realize that some interfaces show all of the markdown even inside the post itself. Jerboa will show it in the summary tile before you click in, but it does format.

That might be a solid solution. I think I was a bit intimidated by the (relative) complexity of DosBox compared to vDos, but it seems like a reasonable way to go about it. Thanks for the link! That makes it much easier.

To be perfectly honest, Lemmy has had staggering growth regardless of the lack of media attention. And I’m not entirely certain that’s a bad thing.

Look at my home instance of lemmy.world, for example. When I joined pre-blackout, we had around 800 members. Now, two server upgrades later, we’re at nearly 18,000. If only a fraction of those newcomers stay, it’s still enough to jumpstart organic growth, even if it’s slow. And it gives us time to really develop.

Maybe that’s a glass-half-full outlook, but I’m optimistic.

Yeah, honestly it isn’t too bad. I was a little put-off by the size of everything at first, but, when I checked the settings, there is an option to change the size of the font—and that really helped.

All in all, it isn’t perfect, but I am enjoying it so far. I look forward to seeing it grow and improve!
