Yes, I was. I checked in F-Droid and the reason it didn't automatically update was something to do with an incompatible signature. But I updated it manually and it's looking fine now.
Seems like clients vary wildly in how they interpret this markup. This is how it shows on Sync:
Yeah it looks like the subscript and superscript fonts are not being supported on third party android/apple clients properly, but only the Lemmy web client.
My goal was actually just to make the font smaller, and not so much subscript/superscript.
I may have to revert the change, and just make the font for the link regular sized.
Either that, or just wait for the android/apple clients to catch up to the Lemmy web client.
I believe that the custom for a lot of wine patch notes is just to mention the first application reported with the bug even if it affects many applications. So that could be what's happening here.
