jrollans.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Markdown is only supported in the Hometown and GlitchSocial forks of Mastodon. Vanilla Mastodon will probably never have it, because they're going for that classic Twitter UX, for better or for worse.
Many non-Mastodon fedi servers like #GtS and #snac2 support #Markdown.
I don't know about Friendica, *oma, and *key, though.
Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.
What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)
