I doubt they will ever add it at this point. Mastodon can display markdown on posts from Akkoma just fine so it must be that they don't want Masto users to have access to markdown at all. Fortunately, Fediverse is more than just Mastodon so you can join an Akkoma instance instead, or one of the forks of Mastodon.
It is but Mastodon is the biggest part, by a long shot, and also one of the worst at the same time...
Yeah, and that's my frustration with Lemmy too. Piefed has features like flairs that are just useless because 90% of people are on Lemmy that can't even display them in any way!
It also doesn't help that Piefed has a better discovery of communities so when a new person makes their account on here, I can't even give them a good advice like "oh, use feeds to find communities you might like" or "there's 'similar communities' menu in sidebar, glance at it from time to time!"
Instead, it's either pointing them at lemmyverse.net or telling them to try to turn 'all' feed into something actually tolerable. And they have to pull it off without word filters because Lemmy doesn't have it either!
