Spoilers Not Working in Sync (lemmy.ca)

Lemmy doesn't do spoilers the same way that Reddit does. Sync appears to still be using the reddit style of spoilers, i.e. >!spoiler!<, however on the web-ui those are visible to users, and the spoilers that web users use in the editor which look like this:

descriptionspoiler goes here

Aren't hidden in Sync. Consider this a PSA for users of Sync that may want to avoid spoilers or avoid spoiling others. Personally, I'd like to see >!spoiler!< supported more widely on Lemmy, but in the meantime this should probably be addressed in Sync.

I wish Lemmy used Discord style spoiler tags. I don't see why a spoiler needs a title and an expando. Just mask the text and reveal it when tapped. Discord uses ||spoiler here|| syntax. Much easier to remember and use than the reddit syntax and simpler than the Lemmy one.

Honestly, the reddit syntax is so ugly and stupid it offends me. ๐Ÿ˜†
