Mastodon has added support for showing styled text in the new version deployed on mastodon.social. Looks good with bold and italics in blog posts federated from Micro.blog.

@manton Whaaaat? That’s awesome. Can we add hyperlinks too? Blockquotes?

@pratik Links have worked for a while. Just checked and block quotes also look good! That's new.

@manton Unordered og ordered list, code and del should work https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/668a19a2f325c4e9fe2fd97d391ad3d2cd18c42a/lib/sanitize_ext/sanitize_config.rb#L63

@manton Is there a way to follow Micro.blog users in Ivory using their Mastodon compatible usernames?

@kq Thanks. I gave this a try. Looks to be hit and miss with most users have no posts that appear in Ivory. I’m going to keep trying. @manton

@cdevroe @kq The "no posts" is an issue if the user has never been loaded on your particular Mastodon instance yet. I think we can work around it but haven't fully explored yet.
