I am so confused right now. Is the octothorpe an ancient character of font sizing?
In CommonMark, which is the markdown system used by Lemmy, the octothorpe is used to denote header text.
The octothorpe must be at the beginning of the line, but there is some disagreement among apps as to whether it needs to be followed by a space.

Huh. Weird. Today I learned. It's interesting how your cromulents appear. Looks like the default view for the browser needs the octothorpe and the space for it to make it the header text.
Markdown does sometimes be that way, but it depends on the client. My app just shows the #s verbatim.
What client are you using?
