    You can use Markdown in your bio, so single new lines are ignored by default. However, you can use hard line breaks by placing two white space in the end of the line, e.g.:

    foo  
    baz

    (Note that there are two spaces after foo.)

    This is not a must-have feature for me but just something to document.

    the new lines are more dramatic on mastodon:

    Oh, I got it. Just put two newline characters between lines!
