Spoiler functionality not working? (sopuli.xyz)

Hi all,

When I create a new post or comment there are buttons for different formatting options (bold, italic, hyperlink, ...) right above the on-screen keyboard. One of the buttons is a little circle with an exclamation mark that is called spoiler.

If I click on it, it adds three colons followed by 'spoiler spoiler' and then at the end again three colons. But after I publish the post or comment, I don't see any effect or special formatting of my text. It's just the text and that non-functional tags.

Is that a bug or is that how it's meant to work?

This was brought up recently about Eternity, which was also originally a Reddit client. Eternity currently only supports Reddit-style spoilers, not Lemmy-style spoilers. How do these spoilers look to you?

Reddit-style:

>!I use Thunder now!<

!I use Thunder now!<

Lemmy-style:

SpoilerI use Thunder now

Spoiler

I use Thunder now

They look like a quote rather than a spoiler.

Interesting. So, not the exact same scenario as Eternity, as Eternity currently does render the Reddit-style spoiler as a spoiler instead of as a quote.
