It's nice to be able to post using **markdown** - it will also make posting code more natural
`print("Hello, Mastodon!")`
Although I've noticed that on the iOS app I'm using (the official one), markdown is not rendered. It is on the web platform.
Not sure about other apps…
_PS: I believe this is not a feature on all servers…_
@trinsec so does that mean that only QOTO members are likely to see the markdown, and everyone else just sees the plain text?
@s_gruppetta Everybody else without markdown support will see some of the markdown adornments, which makes it still readable and still conveys the intent. And we see it in its pretty format here.
I know bold and italics will be shown with those asterisks around. Not sure about the rest.
Pleroma, Misskey, Mastodon Glitch, all microblogging servers which should be able to see markdown. There's more than just Mastodon. :)
