Comment on How to make multiple paragraphs render with a space?

Your post text is rendering as two paragraphs for me in both old.lemmy and alexandria. Are you seeing something else?
For standard markdown, a paragraph is indicated by two successive returns in your source text (and a line break within a paragraph is indicated by a line ending in two spaces followed by a return).

That’s not a lot of spacing, but that’d not zero. If your first paragraph were longer, it would wrap and the lines of your first paragraph would have less space between them than there is between the paragraphs.
I don’t k ow why the CSS maintainers of the default Lemmy theme have chosen such a small paragraph margin. You’re not the first person to complain about it. It’s pretty bad.
In my Lemmy client, Thunder, your post looks great. Anything you do to increase the space

Ah, so you want to increase the default space between paragraphs? (That’s UI dependent, by the way—in Alexandria the default paragraph spacing is closer to a full line.)
You could always add a horizontal rule between paragraphs if you want to indicate a more substantial division.

Well good to know I wasn’t fucking up the markdown
