[Feature request] working apouler tags in comments

Syndicated from the fediverse. Read and engage on the original instance.

I used the spoiler tag and it works in the browser/website but not in the webapp. Hopefully it can be added in the near future.

Sorry for all the requests, keep up the good work!

Can you edit your post to check? That also doesn't look like normal spoiler markdown

So I couldn't add a spoiler to the post title but it did work in the post description text. On web, going to check the app next.

Edit: spoiler tags are not working in the post description either
