I know there are a ton of iOS apps for Lemmy. But what are they missing? What experiences would you like? It could be quality of life or big and ambitious features Many of you often have really good ideas and feedback, I’m looking forward to responses.

    I’m pretty sure spoiler tags are just not part of the markdown specification. This would mean it’s probably easy enough for an application developer to just take the raw comment and pass it to what I assume would be a markdown rendering library (haven’t done app dev much), but spoiler tags won’t work without some additional work.

      A quick Google suggests you’re correct - big sites have implemented their own versions, but it looks like everyone has spent the last decade arguing with other about a CommonMark standard.

      Yeah, this. Remark, the markdown library Voyager uses, is very powerful but also extremely complex (it has to be, to deal with Markdown edge cases).

      I made a bit of progress last week on a custom plugin but it’s a lot of work. There’s like 4 layers of parsing required.

      I wish Lemmy used GFM spoilers, which just uses normal details and summary html tags. But alas.

      It’s really annoying there’s no standard markdown syntax in common mark.
