Markdown in the media bias bot doesn’t work as visibly intended.

Any progress being made here? I was really hoping that not being able to view certain communities such as !newbrunswick@lemmy.ca would be considering bad enough of a bug to bring a little development back.

Code blocks in quotes appear a little funky.

I’m not sure if you’re still monitoring this or if I should make new thread.

I just encountered a comment where they included a link with brackets in the url and it didn’t parse for me in Sync. I assumed it needed escape characters , which did make it a working link for me in app, but I got curious and checked the website and the original link worked fine there. Maybe the Lemmy web ui will escape characters in links by default?

Footnotes are weird? Maybe this post is weird?

Saw this comment in the wild which does not appear correct in Sync.

In Sync it looks like this:

On Lemmy via browser, it looks like this:

Hi!

Moderator from !perth@aussie.zone here.

Just been playing around using the spoiler tags as makeshift drop down lists in the sidebar for the Perth/WesternAustralia community, and noticed the ‘spoiler’ markdown formatting isn’t recognised in the ‘about’ page on the Sync app. :)

Several of the Wikipedia links in the post below contain parentheses in the URL. They work in the web front-end but not in Sync.

Spoiler formatting was a big one, Lemmy wants to do it like this, I think:

Some paragraph text.

Other paragraph text.

EDIT: the main issue being Sync not displaying the spoiler title properly

Furigana (a feature of Japanese text) is supported by Lemmy on the web but doesn’t work in Sync. It’s not a part of core markdown but Lemmy uses a plugin.

Here’s an example post showing how to use it. https://programming.dev/post/530608

Here’s what it should look like:

And here’s Sync:

Funny stuff is happening with the spoilers in this comment, they aren’t rendering as spoilers on the first two but tapping the actual spoilers removes the broken spoiler characters around the first two lines? Really strange: https://lemmy.world/comment/10822445

Not sure if this is the right place, but in the menu for sharing a community, the format is https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy - any way to have that be !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world instead?

I believe that’s the preferred format, although I’m not sure if it’s universal across Lemmy and other apps. Both ways work in Sync.
