Discord supports formatting [1]. It's closer to many Markdown implementations like "CommonMark" than Slack's formatting.

Discord also has several ways to jump to specific messages. Navigating from the Inbox/Notifications will jump directly to a message with a "red badge" no matter where it is in the channel.
