Arctic is a (much) better Lemmy client than any other out there for iOS at least but there are some nifty features for the most recommended app Voyager like the ability to disable side swipes altogether because Apollo’s (reddit) double-tap to upvote for example is much intuitive where side swipes are used to enter and exit communities, posts, comments, menus, settings… or whole app together on Android or Jailbroken devices.
This is my multireddit link after removing u/user which were included as r/_u/redditor from an existing bug to test this for Arctic which would fully enable me along with a lot of us to leave Voyager behind.
return(enter) while pressing the shift button to introduce paragraph breaks inside the bullets and numbering just like the desktop site.Regarding Numbered List: While making a response, the numbering stays right during editing mode - something to take note of that it can be fixed as I would be looking forward to subnumbered list like 1.1 → 1.2 next, instead of just 1 → 2
Here’s reddit markdown wiki which is a good reference to bookmark for across all internet to follow in a synchronised manner.
↳ Personally, I would restrict italics to only
_italics_and bold to*bold*One thing however I don’t understand is the nature of spoiler here as opposed to anywhere else including reddit itself, the one on Lemmy is more like collapsible menu items than a spoiler. If you’re fixing the spoiler back to normal then I would request to rename the current spoiler system to something else which is good for sidebar rules but not really as a spoiler itself in comments.

Looking forward to the changes. ✌︎
I would love to do this, because you are right, the spoilers in Lemmy do not function the same as spoilers on any other platform. However I can’t add this as a feature since it would only be supported in Arctic and people browsing on desktop or any other client would not would not have support for this. So until Lemmy officially supports in-line spoilers like Reddit, we will have to make do with the current system.
It doesn’t make sense to allow composing posts or comments that could only be properly viewed in Arctic.
If I were your business partner in a story, I would have said this would only help Arctic to become more exclusive and preferred over anything out there by popular choice since no one’s going to complain a standard practice and may even one day force Lemmy's mind to prefer Arctic over Voyager rules if we keep going like this.
Anyways, can we fix this?
There has been an open issue for this on the Lemmy-UI GitHub for 2 years now. They use the CommonMark specification in Lemmy and so do I for Arctic.
I do not want to try and strong arm the devs into adding a feature they may not want to add. Instead I may submit a pull request to Lemmy adding support for the inline spoiler tag. There does however seem to be some discrepancy about the format for the tag, since Markdown, nor html officially support inline spoilers.
Also I am aware of the superscript issue in ton the composer, I do plan on fixing this, but it is low priority at the moment.
As long as it’s into consideration and not forgotten.
