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.

It looks pretty well considered in Voyager.
It seems to be you should contact the app’s developer since the problem is with the app.
