The spoiler syntax is supported when editing but fails to render when viewing.

Example (spoiler alert I suppose!):

(castaway) https://sh.itjust.works/post/23433848
(not really a spoiler) https://quokk.au/post/421281
(also not a spoiler) https://aussie.zone/post/12441801

Personally I have held back from discussing details of current films because spoiler masking isn't guaranteed and I don't want to ruin anyone's experience. If Boost can add this then we are one step closer to a perfect world.

I wish Lemmy's implementation was like standard Markdown, instead of the weird "spoiler block." It works great for a Mastodon toot, but it's kind of awkward in this format.

It's a little wild that

spoiler

I can type this using the spoiler macro on boost

and yet boost itself doesn't display it
