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.
