    Mastodon displays properly Markdown posts from other instances, but doesn’t allow creating posts with it. I’m trying to fix this.
    I know there is glitch-soc, but I don’t want to switch to a fork for a single feature. So is there a patch for mainstream Mastodon that adds this functionality?

      @myszka the cleanest way to do this would be to just allow Mastodon users to create "Articles" in ActivityPub actors and enable markdown support in them imo

        Mastodon does in fact not render markdown from other instances. They get converted to HTML by the sender instance.

            Thanks! I am an absolute newb in this. Is there a patch that does that?
