Markup differences between Lemmy and PieFed in community description

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_. Strange.

Result:

_What is web development?_

It seems Markdown here doesn't understand two underscores for bold. It understands one underscore for italic.

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.

--> Markdown problem, independent of community descriptions.

I reported it: Two underscores for bold don't get recognized by the Markdown parser #1545
