I've got my own little Mastodon branch with #Markdown posts support that I'm eventually planning to rollout.
However, after some days using #Elk as my daily driver, I'm feeling less the urge of implementing Markdown support on the backend.
Elk does a quite good job rendering Markdown elements in posts, regardless of what the backend does.
Do you folks use Elk, or another alternative frontend that renders Markdown posts? Or maybe Pleroma or another service that natively supports Markdown content? I'm considering whether I should really invest more time implementing this on the Mastodon backend...
