I’ve been leaning on Lemmy communities for coding and self hosting tips. I tend to do most of my browsing on my phone and I’ve noticed Memmy doesn’t show any markdown in posts or comments.

  • Any alternatives to using Memmy that is known to support code markdown?
  • I’m not opposed to switching to the browser, but I don’t find the Lemmy.world layout particularly easy to navigate so I’d prefer an app or a good PWA

As far as I know, Photon also supports markdown in comments. Lemmy World runs that as an alternate frontend at https://photon.lemmy.world/

Unless something changed, it has good PWA support.

!arctic@lemmy.world has good markdown support and if it’s missing anything the developer is pretty good at making sure the next update supports it.

Yep arctic has some of the best support of this I’ve seen.

This is probably the one for me, really digging the level of customization and it’s easy to navigate.

Voyager and Memmy have markdown shortcuts in the comment editor.

AFAIK, most if not all iOS support markdown even though some may not have shortcuts in the comment editor; you would have to type them manually.

Thanks everyone for the comments so far, I’m including 3 screenshots of how a post looks in all 3 locations (Memmy, Photon & Arctic)

I think Arctic is the winner for me, I like the layout and settings. Also Memmy removed the swipe from left to access subscribed communities and it’s been impossible to get out of the habit, Arctic seems to do it!
