Org does have an exporter for markdown. You need to enable it (see the
manual).
Note that 'markdown' is a somewhat generic term - there is no 'standard'
for markdown. This means that the markdown generated by org may not be
the same syntax as the markdown supported by sourceHut. A similar issue
exists with github and as a result, there is also an external package
which can add github flavoured markdown to org.
If sourceHut markdown is not the same as org's markdown or the github
flavored markdown, it may be necessary to write a sourceHut flavored
markdown exporter (probably fairly easy to do using the existing ox-md
as a starting point).
