This isn’t directly possible. You can add an image to the body of the post using the ![alt text](https://example.com/image.png) formatting. Lemmy automatically chooses an image to display on link posts. You can’t override this on Lemmy 0.18.4, which Beehaw uses (I believe it’s possible on later Lemmy versions, but the official UI doesn’t support it on those versions).

Footnotes^[1] are also undocumented.

Yeah, it’s rather inconsistent. I opened an issue for it a while ago.

Mlem dev here. It shows strikethrough, but not superscript. Lemmy has got a unique dialect of Markdown - in the current version we’re using an open-source Github-dialect parser, which is close to Lemmy’s dialect but not perfect. In the next update we’ve written a custom parser that handles all of Lemmy’s Markdown elements, including superscript and spoilers.

Nope; we haven’t got one yet. We hope to add one sometime in the future though.

That’s what I use in mlem.

Mlem dev here - we added a button for this to both the post editor and comment editor in our 1.3 update.

Mlem doesn’t have this option just yet, but we’re adding it the next beta. Memmy and Arctic have had it for a while.

Adding such an option is very easy to do for iOS apps - Apple provides a simple API for it, so we just have to add a settings toggle. I’m not familiar with how it works in Android development, but it may be more complicated.

Uploading images in comments will be in the next update, along with a fix for the inbox count bug! We’re also working on a Mark Read on Scroll option, a Modlog page and support for moderator actions (which have all been highly requested features).

Unfortunately, full markdown support is rather tricky to do. We’ve done some deeper research into how we might implement this since the last time it was suggested; it’s a large undertaking that would require some significant time input, but it should be possible. It’s not something we’re scoping for the upcoming update, but it’s something we hope to dedicate time to further down the line.

Mlem dev here! We’re still working on it - a PR is merged every couple of days on our GitHub. It’s true that development isn’t as active as it used to be in the height of the Reddit migration, which unfortunately leads to new features being announced less frequently, but that’s to be expected. We’re working towards another release sometime in the coming weeks.

If you noticed any bugs with Mlem and you’d like to report them, you can do so here and we’ll look into it 👍

Side note: We don’t currently have any plans to drop Lemmy 0.18 support. Supporting 0.18 isn’t a major technical challenge for us at the moment, so we don’t really have a reason to drop support for it.
