Spoilers, subscripts and superscripts don’t work, but everything else does.
Markdown in general is unfortunately rather difficult to render. We use an open-source treesitter that parses GitHub-flavored markdown, which is similar to Lemmy’s markdown. Fully supporting the Lemmy markdown specification (spoilers, for example) would probably require us to instead use a custom implementation built directly out of cmark.
Both saved posts and saved comments are mixed in together in the "Saved" feed. This is how it worked previously when the "Saved" feed was in the profile, too. If this isn't working properly and you don't see your saved comments in the "Saved" feed, let us know.
In future, we'd obviously like to add more granularity here, such as being able to filter the saved feed by just posts or comments, or sorting the saved feed.
Yep, this isn’t possible right now. We’re tracking the issue here, and I’ll try to get it working in the next major update 👍
This isn’t supported by Lemmy yet. It would be relatively easy to let our users follow other users on the client-side, and show your followed users on the subscriptions page. However, as this isn’t supported by Lemmy, your followed users unfortunately wouldn’t sync with the web app or other clients.
It would get a little more tricky to show notifications when a user posts, or create a “followed” feed that only shows posts from users you follow. To do either of these, we’d have to make a separate API request for each user that you follow. If you follow a large number of users, this could be problematic.
One potential way to mitigate this would be to have a separate “send notifications” option for followed users, and we’d only allow you to enable this setting for ~5 users.
I think this is a cool idea. Following users isn’t on our immediate roadmap, but it’s something we could look into in future.
This isn't supported yet, unfortunately. We're tracking the feature here, and will definitely be implementing it at some point in future.
If you want to attach an image to a comment, you can use the  markdown. If you haven't got a URL for your image, you'd have to post the comment from your instance's website (which allows image uploading).
We're focusing on building the best Lemmy client possible right now, and aren't considering branching out to cover multiple platforms. If we do ever consider that, it'll be in the far future once the client is properly polished. Lemmy themselves are discussing potential video support - if that's implemented into Lemmy, we would of course try to support it.
Thank you for making Lemmy ❤️
I looked into the possibility of highlighting new comments when I added the indicator, but unfortunately there isn’t a support for it API-side. So we’d have to do it locally.
Thanks for the report! I've fixed this, and it'll be live on TestFlight in a few days 👍
We have a very small developer team working in our free time, and none of us have any prior knowledge in the area of low-level markdown extensions. It’s very complex, and we’d probably never leave beta if making a perfect markdown renderer was on our requirement list, so we omitted it. It might be possible to work out given enough time, but that’s time that we chose to invest in other areas instead.
If you know of any other non-web apps (iOS or Android) that are able to correctly render all of Lemmy’s markdown, let us know. We may be able to learn from/use their implementation, depending on the license it’s distributed under. I haven’t seen any Lemmy clients that can do this yet.
