And this is how it looks on the original server:

Maybe they changed the description, and the change didn't reach PieFed.zip. Or both servers are interpreting the markup differently.

They use level 4 headline + bold.

My apologies for going off topic here, but how were you able to determine this? There doesn't seem to be a way for me to view the markdown source for sidebars like there is for user comments.

API documentation and curl.

curl -G https://programming.dev/api/v3/community --data-urlencode 'name=webdev'|jq '.community_view.community.description'  

PS: I used jq in this example to look cool. In reality I piped all into less and searched for it like a savage.
