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?

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

@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

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

@myszka I think a fork would be necessary to add it
you could also create a feed that fetches articles only, it would be dope!
