I'm a little mad I know what this is...
Also how the fuck do you use spoilers on Lemmy? I looked it up and every single thread I found that explained it didn't work.
Voyager app says it's like this
Which makes:
Tap for spoiler
hidden contentI don't know if it's my sync app or what but I don't see any formatting or symbols on my end at all. Can you post a screen shot of what you're doing?

You can just view it on the web instead of in the sync app then.
