This is a problem with regular Lemmy web as well. When you select the text and press the button, it inserts the > symbol only once instead of at the start of every ~~line~~ paragraph.
Take this sample text (from here)
Implementations of Markdown are available for over a dozen programming languages; in addition, many applications, platforms and frameworks support Markdown. For example, Markdown plugins exist for every major blogging platform.
While Markdown is a minimal markup language and is read and edited with a normal text editor, there are specially designed editors that preview the files with styles, which are available for all major platforms.
When I use the quote button:

From what I remember, it's always been this way, I say always as in the Reddit version had the same behavior from memory ?
Each paragraph needs a ">" character for markdown not each line per se.
