I've noticed that Sync requires two newlines between the preceding sentence and the bulleted list, but the Lemmy website does not, nor does Eternity. That appears to be the problem with the list you posted.

This might not make a bulleted list in Sync:

  • one
  • two
  • three

This should make a bulleted list in Sync:

  • one
  • two

Yes, that was the case. Sync screenshot:

  • This is an example of a bulleted list item that is long enough to likely wrap onto a second line on most phones.

  • This is another bulleted list item that is intended to do the same thing in order to see how readable they are together.

  • This is a third bulleted list item that has an additional line break between the previous list item.

  3. This is a third numbered list item that has an additional line break between the previous list item.

These don't seem very readable to me, making dense walls of text. I feel like bullets and numbers should indent the paragraph to more easily see the separation between list items.

The additional line breaks aren't doing anything, as I'm sure you can see.

The indent should be an option, if anything. At large font sizes, or small screens, that forced indent might be wasting a lot of space. Especially for nested lists.

Although, as it turns out, Sync barely indents nested lists. That alone makes it hard to read, too.

I'd support the indent you mention. It would make nested lists much easier to read, too.
