When translating to Finnish it’s confusing sometimes:
Billion = miljardi = 1 000 000 000
Trillion = biljoona = 1 000 000 000 000
Quintillion = triljoona = 1 000 000 000 000 000 000
You can tell how bad a news site is when they translate billion to biljoona and thus making the amount 1000 times higher.
So you escape the newline and you get a newline? That’s some black magic voodoo. But hey if it works. Much simpler to handle than double space since you can see them and your phone doesn’t try to make them into period space instead of space space.
Newlines with double space (or space backslash apparently) also let’s you have newlines in a quote block without exiting the block. I see a lot of people struggle with that on Lemmy. E.g.
> A quote with multiple lines
Will eat the the newline
Orexitif you don't handle the newline
will render as:
A quote with multiple lines
Will eat the the newline
Or exit if you don’t handle the newline
So you want to do
> A quote with multiple lines \
Will eat the the newline \
Orexitif you don't handle the newline
A quote with multiple lines
Will eat the the newline
Or exit if you don’t handle the newline
Or add space space at the end instead of space backslash.
I’m always disappointed that megameter isn’t a common word. People will say “one thousand kilometers” instead of just “one megameter”.
I’m more disappointed the world renamed one thousand million from milliard to billion.

You probably want double new lines in your posts. Or two spaces at the end of your paragraphs but that’s usually a bit annoying to do.
Or just \ at the end, like so
Texty text text \ TextBecomes
Like this
