Code blocks on mastodon

Recently, I've seen a number of mastodon toots which show code with a special markup, e.g. a light font on a red background. One example can be found at https://wetdry.world/@jessienab/114857900769808977 (the first line of the toot contains some strong language, which I removed for the screenshot below):

I've tried to reproduce this on https://fosstodon.org with code fences, `<code> ... <\code>` etc, but I can't reproduce the result. Is there a special trick or does this require a specific instance/server/client/whatever?
