Markdown support patch for Mastodon

submitted by

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.
