Sync doing rather badly on formating check (placed 18 out of 20!) (lemmy.world)

The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.

In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).

Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.

I noticed that too, but considering that list, with no exaggeration, resulted in the deletion of an app, I wasn't going to mention it. Lj knows.

Raccoon for Lemmy dev got so discouraged following the post that they quit development of the app and deleted the repo and community. Straw that broke the camels back kind of thing. I'd link the post but it's gone along with the community.

Edit: aw they deleted their whole account now too :/

I'd definitely say that was a last straw thing. Raccoon needed a lot of love and I think it was just a PoC. It would kinda work but it certainly had a long way to go.
