Superscript was reported as ^not working^
I installed Sync just to test this. To me, that’s displaying with “not” superscript but not “working”. On web, it just doesn’t work at all (this is due to the markdown library lemmy-ui uses not allowing spaces).
Suspect ~subscript will~ also not work. Curious about struck-out text.
Okay subscript didn’t work on lemmy-ui or Sync. Struck out is fine.
How about single-word subscript? edit: yup, works in lemmy-ui, not in Sync.
Lemmy-ui uses markdown-it-sup, so I think superscript should work on a single word like this: superscript . It won’t work if there is a space in the superscript text: ^this wont work^ . Each word must be enclosed with superscript tags: this should work
No text image links in post bodies. Usually see them in the format [](link here) don’t show up at all.
I think they mean they want a button to embed an image link like we have for regular links
Actually other person got it wrong, but I can confirm that it is fixed in the latest version. I don’t see examples of this very often, but I did run across one today.
!Spoiler tags!<
Don’t work in the standard Lemmy way
Spoiler formatting was a big one, Lemmy wants to do it like this, I think:
Some paragraph text.
Spoiler Title
Some spoiler elements
Other paragraph text.
EDIT: the main issue being Sync not displaying the spoiler title properly
I’d also like to mention that the way it’s done in the community about page for S4L doesn’t seem to work:
1- No advertising or spam.
All types of advertising and spam are restricted in this community.
Edit: this is so confusing. It doesn’t work in the about section, but looks fine in my web interface. I don’t even know what to believe!

The bullet points in my comment here render correctly in the official Lemmy frontend, but not in Sync: https://lemmy.world/comment/6271596
I think a way to make them work is to add two spaces after each line. Here’s a test…
- Line one
- Line two
- Line three
Hopefully that works.
It did :-)
So I know that will make it look correct in sync, but I guess what I’m getting at is that the comment is an example that looks right in other clients but NOT in sync.
Sync should show the list correctly like other clients do.
That’s a placebo and it’s not doing anything. Bulleted lists never need two spaces at the end of each line. You only use two spaces at the end of line that are not in bulleted or numbered lists.
The bug is that Sync requires a blank line before you start the bulleted list. The Lemmy website doesn’t require that.
Here is your comment with no spaces at the end of each line:
spaces after each line. Here’s a test…
- Line one
- Line two
- Line three
See? It still works fine.
Now here’s an example of what two spaces do.
The first sentence below has a new line after each word but no spaces. The second sentence has two spaces and a new line after each word. The spaces force a line break to be rendered.

This feature of markdown was implemented to prevent text from emails and such from wrapping in funny ways when pasted into a comment (or whatever). Old emails often force line breaks after 80 columns of text and it looks goofy when viewed in a modern web browser if those line breaks are kept, so they are ignored. To preserve the line breaks, you add two spaces at the end of each line. That or you might prefer to write paragraphs with a hard wrap at some column, but other people shouldn’t have to suffer that.
Adding the two spaces to lines in a bulleted list does nothing useful, but it also doesn’t break it, so of course it works.
I’ve noticed that Sync requires two newlines between the preceding sentence and the bulleted list, but the Lemmy website does not, nor does Eternity. That appears to be the problem with the list you posted.
This might not make a bulleted list in Sync:
- one
- two
- three
This should make a bulleted list in Sync:
- one
- two
- three

Yes, that was the case. Sync screenshot:
-
This is an example of a bulleted list item that is long enough to likely wrap onto a second line on most phones.
-
This is another bulleted list item that is intended to do the same thing in order to see how readable they are together.
-
This is a third bulleted list item that has an additional line break between the previous list item.
-
This is an example of a numbered list item that is long enough to likely wrap onto a second line on most phones.
-

These don’t seem very readable to me, making dense walls of text. I feel like bullets and numbers should indent the paragraph to more easily see the separation between list items.
The additional line breaks aren’t doing anything, as I’m sure you can see.
The indent should be an option, if anything. At large font sizes, or small screens, that forced indent might be wasting a lot of space. Especially for nested lists.
Although, as it turns out, Sync barely indents nested lists. That alone makes it hard to read, too.
I’d support the indent you mention. It would make nested lists much easier to read, too.
