      Yeah go view your comment in the webui or any other app.

      So if I use the spoiler markdown button in sync to other Sync users it looks like it’s working, but surely lj knows?

      That’s the Reddit method for spoilers though, and won’t be hidden on every client. Lemmy’s version is:

      ::: spoiler Teaser text here
      Hidden text
      :::

      Teaser text here

      Hidden text

        Turns out Sync fucks with what you type in order for it to get spoilers to work, so you can’t even show a Sync user the proper syntax!

        Check this out:

      Ironically, that isn’t valid Lemmy markdown. Sync should be supporting Lemmy markdown, not Reddit markdown. Here’s what your comment looks like on the website:

      This issuperscript and you can also dosubscript.

      Source:

      This is^superscript^ and you can also do~subscript~.
      

      Here’s what it should look like:

      Instead, you get this:

      Personally I don’t like Lemmy’s syntax for spoilers, but Sync should still support it!

      hidden or nsfw stuff

      a bunch of spoilers here

      Source:

      ::: spoiler hidden or nsfw stuff
      a bunch of spoilers here
      :::
      

      I’m surprised that actually even works in Sync. It didn’t used to. However, Sync doesn’t show my code block accurately, which is funny as fuck! No app should be editing my code block. Sync is replacing my text with reddit markdown in order for it to display properly. And even when I put that markdown in a code block, it still converts it to reddit style! It also strips out the warning text!

      Here is what I actually typed:

      And here’s what Sync shows:

      What a lazy ass way of doing it. It removes an important feature: the warning text, and won’t even let me show Sync users how to do a proper spoiler!

      Oh, WTF. Sync butchered my comment when editing it! I had to fix it back on desktop.

      Sync is not fine. It’s full of bugs that the dev is ignoring.
