Markdown support patch for Mastodon
-
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? -

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