I posted a marktown formatted table on Piefed but when the post federates to Mastodon, it's formatting is stripped. I wonder what we can do about this issue. How should Mastodon interpret tables? What can client apps do to better render these posts?

@liaizon Which of the 1574 known variants of "markdown formatted table" should be supported? ;-)
@order I woud think the tables should be distributed as HTML-tables, i.e. converted before sending.
On the other hand, should activitpub implementations keep HTML table elements for their clients to present?
Given that people generally might end up using tables for visually formatting things, instead of just for structuring data things might not look that good.
