Not sure why it doesn't trigger for fediverse posts. At the very least it should have turned into a blockquote. @julian will have to take a look at the fedi issue.
@eeeee Mastodon posts are interpreted as-is, so that symbol combination is meaningless for Mastodon, and that is reflected in NodeBB
Will have to test between NodeBB
@julian yes I never expected it so function on Mastodon, of course not. but when putting that symbol combination into Mastodon post, and sending it to nodebb you would think it would trigger nodebb side. Actally its hard to understand how it doesnt activate spoiler on nodebb side, given its the same 2 characters. Im more perplexed, than bothered, that it doesnt!
@eeeee when Mastodon posts enter NodeBB we save the html in the database as-is (and sanitize it on output).
This is different from NodeBB internally which saves markdown into the database.
The spoiler plugin might not be matching the symbols because from remote communities the line begins with
<p>>! spoilerinstead of just with>!itself.
