It wouldnt do it when i tried to super-script^2^ the ^TM^ after the already superscripted ^🚫^ in a recent post title, nominally to my exceedingly mild chagrin.

I cannot overemphasize the mildity of said chagrin...

Strike through and sub/superscript never comes across for me on Firefox and Windows.

I don’t think I’ve used ^superscript^ or ~subscript~ on Lemmy. Kinda didn’t know they existed. And now I want an ~excuse~ to use them^…^ ^So^ ^I’m^ ^just^ ^going^ ^to^ ^make^ ^this^ ^comment…^

Edit: I’ve been on Lemmy for over two years. The “new user” icon makes me sad. RIP lemm.ee.

Lemmy uses CommonMark spec.

Some clients have diferent parsers, which will allow one for different formatting, but they should stick to the default.

Some users complained about supporting headings in titles so I think that's one that makes sense to explicitly disable for post titles.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

It depends on the client

Some apps / frontends support it and others don't

Never thought of super/subscripting an emoji^😎^~👽~

Edit: 🤔 what happens if I try to subscript a superscripted emoji?

Edit^2^: ~wheeeee~

this:

Never thought of ^super/subscripting_an_emoji_😎_~👽~^

but spaces break the superscript so you have to use something else for it
