There's two versions. Neither works in all apps, so I just go with the one that's familiar.

! !< is quick and easy

::: spoiler is clunky and a pain in the ass. I'm not sure why it was chosen when no other markdown requires a word to be in place. I guess the ability to add title text is the reason, but it's such a niche use, and still could have been implemented in a less clunky way, imo.

iirc, its just one exclamation mark.

Yeah, I really wish Lemmy natively supported in-line spoilers.

Amen lol. And that every app handled things the same. Most of them will handle either version of spoliers, but not all, so the lack of lemmy support for the more common one is sometimes a problem.
