This was a comment I made on a "sink" post the mods deleted, and I think it's an issue that needs addressing, so I'm pasting it here. The comment I replied to said something like "Superscript and spoilers have always worked fine in Sync".
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 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

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.
I posted that I liked voyager, though it's missing some features that are in sync (most importantly to me, being able to block community without visiting it) may have been me I guess?
I don't care for the formatting stuff, I rarely post, but thunder has the above mentioned so that's nice. What I instantly hated about thunder after trying it just now was that I can't scroll back up a feed without it jumping posts in a weird way. Not entirely sure what the problem is but it's very distracting.
I'll try put thunder for a bit, guess I'll just need to show funny stuff to my wife as soon as I see it rather than trying to scroll back up to it, until I can figure out why it's doing it or it gets resolved with an update.
Edit: well that's bizarre, just opened thunder again after posting this from voyager and I'm not getting the scroll backup issue.
tap and hold a community or user name to block :)
Nice, thanks. I generally tried to avoid tapping users/community but it's good to know it had purpose for my use. Appreciate it....guess I'll donate some more of my "imaginary" Google wallet rewards fund whatever the fuck it's called that I can't use for anything but apps anyways ๐คฃ
