    It looks like it was implemented in the frontend, people from other instances don’t have them in the communities and I can’t see them from Eternity or the browser in mobile. It’s like the custom emojis added to hexbear. I hope some support is added eventually in the lemmy protocol.

      I do too, but I would wait until all of the Lemmy mobile apps have figured out CommonMark before trying to put new features on them.

      Lemmy’s dialect of Markdown is not the same as Reddit’s but Sync does not seem to have gotten the memo and Voyager doesn’t support spoiler tags at all

      I’m all for Lemmy getting new features but I’d like to avoid the MatrixChat problem whereby the protocol is so complicated that none of the clients except the official one even try to implement any features beyond chat and E2EE (I’ve tried half a dozen different Matrix clients and Element is the only one from which I’ve been able to successfully place a voice call) while still lagging behind its competitors in terms of features (custom emotes have still yet to be fully implemented)

        Same here, spoiler tags don’t work on Eternity. Do you know any app that can?

        I have tried matrix but I want to hold out until I can set up a home run instance so I haven’t been looking for clients.

          I’ve been using Jerboa and it does spoilers just fine. It also shows exact split vote counts on posts and comments which I’m not sure why more Lemmy clients don’t do. It doesn’t have any of the fun swipe gestures like Sync or Voyager though.

            I prefer using swiping gestures. I’ll wait until Eternity developers add support for spoilers as it hasn’t been too intrusive for me at least.
