Oh my gosh this is insanely helpful, thank you. Yes Im on Sync and your message looks completely not spoilered except for the last bit. So thats cool. My spoilers are incompatible with the spoilers everyone else is using?

Correct.

What's more, Sync somehow manages to mess up the formatting of Lemmy style spoilers despite not rendering them. The correct sequence for a spoiler is a triple colon at the beginning and end, akin to the triple backtick for a code block. If you view a comment formatted like that in Sync, it will for some inexplicable reason convert the triple colon into >! ... !<, even inside a code block.
