Consistency
As you may know, a message written in one Reddit client doesn't display the same in another. Here's an example:
Example
```
First line
Second line
```
reddit.com and the official app both render this correctly:
First line
Second line
old.reddit.com, however, renders everything on one line:
First line Second line
They also differ in how they render subscripts with parentheses (a^(\(b\))), nested subscripts (a^b^c), and code blocks and lists that immediately follow text.
Lemmy doesn't have these issues, since its Markdown specification is clearly defined.
Images
On Reddit, if you want to add images to a text post, you have to use the Fancy Pants editor on reddit.com. If you attempt to edit such a post on the official app, a third-party app, old.reddit.com or the mobile site, these images simply turn into links. Additionally, you can't attach images in comments.
Lemmy lets you attach images from anywhere, including comments.
