Footnotes are weird? Maybe this post is weird?

Furigana (a feature of Japanese text) is supported by Lemmy on the web but doesn't work in Sync. It's not a part of core markdown but Lemmy uses a plugin.
Here's an example post showing how to use it. https://programming.dev/post/530608
Here's what it should look like:
And here's Sync:
Posts are not being marked as read, unless the comments are opened.
I'm not sure if you're still monitoring this or if I should make new thread.
I just encountered a comment where they included a link with brackets in the url and it didn't parse for me in Sync. I assumed it needed escape characters , which did make it a working link for me in app, but I got curious and checked the website and the original link worked fine there. Maybe the Lemmy web ui will escape characters in links by default?
Several of the Wikipedia links in the post below contain parentheses in the URL. They work in the web front-end but not in Sync.
Hi!
Moderator from !perth@aussie.zone here.
Just been playing around using the spoiler tags as makeshift drop down lists in the sidebar for the Perth/WesternAustralia community, and noticed the 'spoiler' markdown formatting isn't recognised in the 'about' page on the Sync app. :)
This in-line animation doesn't work but when you tap on it there preview is fine
Funny stuff is happening with the spoilers in this comment, they aren't rendering as spoilers on the first two but tapping the actual spoilers removes the broken spoiler characters around the first two lines? Really strange: https://lemmy.world/comment/10822445
