The Fediverse really needs to support standard markdown globally
Well I do get a code block so I'm not sure if that's Kbin-specific markdown but I also get a bunch of HTML inside it too. I can't view the raw comment like I could with RES, but I would suspect that the raw Markdown characters should be sent with the post, for the website to support in its style-specific way, or something. This seems more like someone's client or app inappropriately inserting display style information into the post? But I could be totally wrong, I'm not an expert
