That may be a lemmy specific way to markdown
It’s not Lemmy specific
Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#italic
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.
