      You can end a line with a backslash to have single line line breaks.

      Lemmy just uses markdown, so any good guide for that should be able to help you:
      https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#line-breaks

      If you can’t find a specific thing, just searching “how to x in markdown” in your preferred search engine should net you an answer if x is supported.

      There are also many markdown editors that can be run either locally or through a browser; these can be useful if you want to test some syntax without putting any mistakes in the eyes of the public. I like Obsidian for local editing and usually recommend this one for online testing.

      Hope all that helps!

        Sorry for the late reply (it’s been a busy week at work), but yeah, unfortunately, not all software supports that method. For instance, it doesn’t seem to work on Matrix when using either Element (desktop) or FluffyChat (Android). So, I just got into the habit of do it that way everywhere because at least most places seem to support it. Lol.
