Underscores do not work inside a word (so my_long_identifier won’t accidentally become mylongidentifier, but _foo_ will become foo)
I know. Underscores also work though for italics

That may be a lemmy specific way to markdown

It’s not Lemmy specific

Markdown has a core spec and then endless flavours. I assume what they’re saying Lemmy chose to not use underscore markup.

This used to be a trouble back in the reddit days as well. It depends entirely on what platform you’re using to access the content.
Boost for example does seem to allow underscores however when I check via the web it doesn’t work.
