Sync doing rather badly on formating check (placed 18 out of 20!)
> Updated! Updates are shown in quote text like this. Some scores are updated following app updates. # An Apps Experiment ## Introduction This is an experiment I performed out of curiosity, and I have a few big disclaimers at the bottom. Basically, I’ve seen a lot of comments recently about one app ...
The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.
In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).
Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.
You're viewing a single thread.
The spoiler tag issue is an especially big problem as it comes up a lot. I still can't let go of Sync as it looks and feels the best, but it would be nice if this stuff got fixed.
Yeah the new media bias bot that posts on many communities uses formatting that looks fine on Lemmy UI but weird in sync
I really hate bots like that. I know the creators mean well, but posting on everything just makes it meaningless.
There is actually evidence that the creator does not mean well at all. And it very well might be a propagandizing bot that is trying to shift the Overton window by labeling center and right leaning media as left biased.
Right? And it makes it a lot harder to know which posts actually have comments. I wish it showed none if the only comment is a bot I've blocked but I understand that could be more work than it'd really be worth. It's relatively minor.
Had to block the bot because it was so obnoxious. Good to know it's sync causing the issue.
