   🚨 MASTODON SUPPORTS RICH TEXT RENDERING! 🚨

   No more unicode hacks! This makes the Fediverse more usable!

   I knew this update was supposed to support this, but this is the first time I've seen this in the wild.

   This post was composed in Friendica, and Mastodon now accurately displays:

   * Quotes
   * Bold
   * Italics

   This is a big step, and will make the Fediverse more

   See screenshot!

     I don’t know if Mastodon will support rich text posting.

     Nevertheless, rich text rendering means that much more of the Fediverse’s functionality will be viewable to people who use Mastodon.

     @robUx4 Yes, I mentioned that in the initial post. I have no doubt that rich text rendering will appear in the official Mastodon client soon.

     @Aranjedeath I'm on mastodon.social right now, and I see it.

     I also provided a screenshot.

     Your own server may not support it yet.

     @atomicpoet I am failing to find evidence in the code that rich text formatting (incoming) is supported in a shipping version of mastodon.

     @Aranjedeath Here's me using a browser (Vivaldi) with no extensions or plug-ins.

     I hope you're happy to be wrong.

     You can test this yourself on mastodon.social.

     @atomicpoet Happy to be wrong, but it does not appear the code has shipped yet. It's written.

     Chris Trottier repeated this.

     @atomicpoet you had a browser addon doing this previously. I am telling you I cannot find evidence ANYBODY could have the code that does this. I provided github links.

     This is one reason I continue to use mastodon.social: I get access to new Mastodon features first before other servers.

     So maybe I shouldn't migrate elsewhere yet.

     @Aranjedeath @atomicpoet we’re not running tagged releases. We’re running from main branch. This is huge news in itself that mastodon social and online as well as universeodon are bleeding edge to champion features (and some minor bugs) to a broader audience. I expect we’ll see a tagged release soon enough.

     exciting times to have better onboarding, richer text views, people search, thread markers and lots of improvements for performance and caching.
