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 issuperscript and you can also dosubscript.

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’m commenting from Thunder now. It’s significantly improved since I last used it! I’ll have to give it a chance.
I’m going to mess with some markdown…

Damn, those don’t work at all.
Ah, a nice, fat horizontal rule. Excellent! EDIT: ironically, after submitting the comment, I couldn’t see it because the comment highlight background is the same color as the horizontal rule. I originally was looking at the preview. This is what I get as soon as I submit:
Warning! Spoiler!
Just kidding. There’s no spoiler.
Nice! It’s a shame there’s no toolbar button to make a spoiler, though.
Doesnt work, as expected. Sync makes these work, which it shouldn’t
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3
Heading 4
Heading 5
Heading 6
4 through 6 all look the same. I wish apps would decorate the headings to make them obvious and not just vary the font size.
Oh shit, it even has comment drafts! I just hit Back by accident and thought I lost everything. Still, a warning or confirmation would be nice. Plus the option to just discard the comment.
Nice! You can bullet a whole list in one click. Even Sync can’t do that.
Image upload works fine.
Yes! With one tap! Another thing Sync sucked at.
I’ll have to try Thunder out some more. So far it’s pretty good.
Testing…
