Just a test of adding markdown to a post in Friendica which I host myself.
@mathias Bad news. The markdown doesn’t show up in Mastodon, only Friendica. 😕

It works fine. You don't see markdown rendered, because your client which finally displays the status to you on the receiving end strips it off and ignores it. I can see the markdown status both in FediLab app, as well as in the web app of my home Mastodon instance.

I’m using the default web client. That’s pretty sad if it is the fault of the default client.

Yes, by default Mastodon emulates Twitter: no rich text formatting, just plaintext. Some instances are heavily customised, like qoto.org where I have my vista. But that is an exception.
