From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why are there non breaking spaces?
Because there doesn't seem to be any other way to have line breaks show up. Lol.
See? This line is actually separated after the above one by two lines.
You can end a line with a backslash to have single line line breaks.
Lemmy just uses markdown, so any good guide for that should be able to help you:
https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#line-breaks
If you can't find a specific thing, just searching "how to x in markdown" in your preferred search engine should net you an answer if x is supported.
There are also many markdown editors that can be run either locally or through a browser; these can be useful if you want to test some syntax without putting any mistakes in the eyes of the public. I like Obsidian for local editing and usually recommend this one for online testing.
Hope all that helps!
Sorry for the late reply (it's been a busy week at work), but yeah, unfortunately, not all software supports that method. For instance, it doesn't seem to work on Matrix when using either Element (desktop) or FluffyChat (Android). So, I just got into the habit of do it that way everywhere because at least most places seem to support it. Lol.
