Note that some clients don't display text-formatting properly. Known issues as of 2023-05-28:

• Metatext: no bold/italic
• Tooot: no bold/italic
• Trunk Mastodon: only links work; lists may get condensed to a single paragraph

All of them render links properly, but some may insert "safety text" to warn you when the link text does not match the domain being linked (I think the assumption is that all links are auto-linked URLs, which is probably true with Trunk Mastodon). MGE does insert this text by default, but you can turn it off in the UI options dialog.
