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.
Most app clients don’t fully support formatting yet. I’m on Boost and neither spoilers nor superscript work.
I don’t know the numbers on each app vs web clients, but I suspect apps are a significant portion. Ignoring their limitations is ignoring a good portion of your users.
