Discord now formats Markdown previews right

Discord has updated its platform to include improved Markdown rendering, allowing users to view formatted files directly within the app. The update also includes organizational improvements for servers and increased file upload limits for Nitro members.
Why it matters
Enhanced Markdown support improves the utility of Discord for technical communities and AI developers who frequently share code and documentation.
Discord’s latest update released today has a big improvement for Markdown previews: they should now render correctly instead of with “a bunch of symbols,” according to the company. LLMs and AI agents often rely on Markdown files for instructions and context, so these improved previews could be helpful for people sharing information about AI projects on the platform.
