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.

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?

While this isn’t strictly a markdown issue, it is slightly related. Link domain indicators are handled specially for Reddit, and they probably shouldn’t be.

This is a link to a Lemmy post. Sync appends (lemmy.world) after it.

This is a link to a Reddit post. Sync appends (/comments/) after it.

This is a link to an old.reddit post. Sync appends (/comments/) after it.

This is a link to a Lemmy profile. Sync appends (lemmy.world) after it.

This is a link to a Reddit profile. Sync appends (u/ljdawson) after it.

I acknowledge that there would be technical difficulties in trying to make Sync identify ActivityPub users and posts, and the current implementation of showing the domain name is good, in my opinion.

Reddit links should probably display the Reddit domain name, however. These links are external to Sync and would open a new browser page, and it’s more informative for the user to know the domain of the link they are opening.

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:

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:

Footnotes are weird? Maybe this post is weird?

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. :)

Markdown is not respected in post preview (can’t attach an image apparently, but many posts on news communities will have a quote)

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

Posts are not being marked as read, unless the comments are opened.

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.
