    So you escape the newline and you get a newline? That’s some black magic voodoo. But hey if it works. Much simpler to handle than double space since you can see them and your phone doesn’t try to make them into period space instead of space space.

    Newlines with double space (or space backslash apparently) also let’s you have newlines in a quote block without exiting the block. I see a lot of people struggle with that on Lemmy. E.g.

    > A quote with multiple lines
    Will eat the the newline 
    
    Or exit if you don't handle the newline
    

    will render as:

    A quote with multiple lines Will eat the the newline

    Or exit if you don’t handle the newline

    So you want to do

    > A quote with multiple lines \
    Will eat the the newline \
    Or exit if you don't handle the newline
    

    A quote with multiple lines
    Will eat the the newline
    Or exit if you don’t handle the newline

    Or add space space at the end instead of space backslash.
