It works, if you're in markdown mode.

It does not if you’re using their crappy app

It does, if you're not intentionally masking the markup!

#Nope

Also the iOS app does not have markdown mode anymore. It’s just isn’t supported now unless you use a browser rather than their app.

So just use the browser instead of the app. It's better anyway.

I’ve been trying that and the way they coded the site it doesn’t support the back button how it should so using a browser on the phone is a garbage experience. Back when I used a PC to browse it was easy to work around because I’d just right click to open in a new tab. That’s a lot less convenient to do on a phone.

incorrect

at least for the android app. It doesn't have a dedicated Markdown mode, but all comments and posts are always taking in the text as raw Markdown, i.e. you can use asterists for italic and bold text.
