Feature comparison - kbin vs Lemmy
(media.kbin.social)
There's a chance that I have forgotten something or missed something.
But these are my finds, so far.
I'm just wondering about 'spoiler alert' - what is it exactly? I haven't delved into Lemmy's code for a long time.
I would guess it's the capacity of masking text through markdown for spoiler purposes:

masking text
Like this?kbin does that just fine.
Oh my Deity how did you do that?!
I've been cursing enviously for days when I see a spoiler (system) I couldn't use myself!
I didn't get Lemmy's style to work.
hidden text title
hidden texttest
Does this thing work?sigh Finally.
Now I just need to find a convenient way to save this piece of code and copy-paste it whenever I need it ๐ค
.
...except that when I wrote more text into this comment, the code broke ๐ค
Upon further testing - if I edit a text, the spoiler stops working. When I update the page, the spoiler works again.
Indeed, I missed that case, thanks.
Honestly, I'd just suggest to add a button for it in the editor after the code one? I think it's a common enough thing to use to warrant it. For every other formatting maybe a little link for a pop up or expandable that shows the remaining formatting rules, similar to how it was on old.reddit.
I wholeheartedly agree on the editor button!
Ironically, that doesn't work for me at all. (I have seen other spoiler blocks recently though, so not sure why not.)
Is it browser-, operating system- or device-related?
I'm on Windows PC, Firefox, at https://kbin.social/
I'm poking around at it now. I'm guessing it's probably something to do with JavaScript -- which I block by default via NoScript. (That's kind of odd though since I thought it was generating a /\ HTML block server side, but maybe it's doing it on the client and I just happened to have JS unblocked when I saw it before?)
Edit: It looks like it is coming from this webpack'd JS file currently which I think is built from this JS source file; there is a
handleSpoilersfunction defined which manipulates details/summary elements. Oddly, there is also PHP code for manipulating details/summary like I thought.@ernest can chime in on if that's a temporary thing or what, but yeah, it seems to not work for me because I block JavaScript.
Hmm. Okay.
Yeah I'm no code savvy so let's hope they know more about it ๐
Yo, that is so good to know!
Wish there was a link to some quick stylesheet guide that kbin supports when you write a comment. Haven't seen this feature before.
It just got added last week. This is the post demoing it in the devlog: https://kbin.social/m/kbinDevlog/t/651148/RTR-22-Further-improvements-interspersed-with-code-refactoring
@ernest@kbin.social I think it's for the functionality used in this random comment I found.
