Why do two lines of text ignore spacing unless more than one line is between them and how to not make it happen? (lemmy.world)

I apologize if this is not right to post here but im not sure where to go with this one as i havent really found an answer myself.

See, heres the thing, as yall surely know when i hit enter on a line once it will not work, it has to be two.

Is that intentional, if so why?

how does one disable that?

Yeah.

I really don't want to see text like this.

It would make things a lot more annoying to read.

I much prefer combining sentences by default. It's natural to put a blank line between paragraphs, and Markdown was designed to make the natural thing render decently. You can put things on separate lines if you want, and it'll always read nicely.

But definitely break things up into paragraphs if it makes sense.
