Why do you put strikethrough the text though?

The single ~ reduces the font size.

For ~example~

Strange.

On the Lemmy web client its two tildes ~ for strikeout.

One tilde is the subset font size.

Before ^superset^ After ^superset^

Before ~subset~ After ~subset~

Before ~~strikeout~~ After ~~strikeout~~

What client are you using?

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.

Voyager. And this is how it looks, by the way.

Are you running outdated version of voyager? Because it looks fine to me

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.

What formatting text do they use for subscript/superscript?

The Lemmy help page for formatting has the formatting text I'm using.

Seems like others are having the same problem. Looks like the non-web clients need to add support for subscript and superscript to themselves.
