Is there anything special about Lemmy markdown?

It's not Lemmy markdown. The implementation used in lemmy-ui (specifically) is markdown-it. And yes it's special (not in a good way).

Some of us advised Lemmy devs to switch to a CommonMark implementation before it's too late. That would have allowed for using higher quality and faster implementations, not to mention allowing/easing better interop. But the devs weren't interested in the suggestion.
