Would love to learn how to do footnotes, I've definitely seen it in the wild at least once

This has most of the extended syntax, including footnotes[^1]. I use the syntax highlighting quite often, and a few markdown editors/previewers support mermaid.js which is pretty cool if you need a simple diagram and you don't want to mess around with a more complex app.

[^1]: If you are talking about Lemmy formatting specifically, I don't think it's feature complete yet, but it does support some things that aren't documented

    ==Important text == can be highlighted. I actually didnโ€™t know about this one

    Here's a sentence with a footnote. [^1]

    [^1]: This is the footnote.

    Good catch! Iโ€™ll see if I can fix that in the next release of Blorp.

    Edit: on second thought, let me double check what other Lemmy/PieFed clients do. I would hate to encourage users to use a syntax if it looks broken on other clients. In general, if the official UI supports something then we will support it.

    Mermaid diagrams, where supported, I feel are invaluable in tech.
