Spoilers aren't part of commonmark, so the syntax varies wildly between platforms.

  • Reddit: >!content!<
  • Discord: ||content||

On Lemmy, the syntax is this:

content

and clients should render it as a details element. You can even have titles for it, as shown!

example spoiler titlespoiler example

For some reason, a lot of third party apps still haven't implemented this. As of my knowledge, clients that support this are

  • The default UI, lemmy-ui
  • Photon

Did it work? It looks Just like your example to me and not actually a spoiler tag.

I am using memmy, and your example is visible in the op.

ETA looking at Lemmy.world on safari it still appears broken to me.

It is supposed to look like a drop-down.
