Spoiler tags in Lemmy apps (reddthat.com)

I'm using Boost for Lemmy on Android and when others post spoiler tags, I still see the text that should be hidden until tapped. Being able to see through spoiler tags is keeping me from engaging as readily with spoiler-filled communities.

Is there any adjustments I can do to fix it or is it something that can only be done at app or instance or Lemmy as a whole level? TY.

That's a known Boost problem. Nothing you can do.

Shoot, I like Boost, esp the user tags as a free feature. Upon further study, it looks like Boost might be inactive so time to search around again. TY.

You could try asking in the Boost community, maybe there's a workaround or alternative option: !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

I use Sync and the issue with Sync is that spoilers in the body of a post can't be read at all, so don't try Sync because it's just as bad.

Ha, fair enough. TY.

My shopping list to date.

  • user tags
  • spoiler tags work
  • dark mode + color palette that doesn't offend my eyes
  • my "sort by" settings stick and don't reset when the app restarts

If anyone out there has recommendations for a Lemmy app for Android, I'm all all ears.

If Sync fixes the spoiler tags then all you need is to pay for user tags, but I'm not going to recommend paying for Sync as it's been 10 months of silence since the last update.

Damn, I'm running into that a lot with Lemmy apps.
