    for fucks sake the formatting guide says that’s how to mark spoilers but they’re not showing up at least on old.lemmy.world. and i can’t seem to edit on it either.

      I think the word spoiler is mandatory. You’re also missing line breaks

      ::: spoiler the spoiler
      hidden content
      :::
      

      not

      ::: the spoiler
      hidden content
      :::
      

      or (your version)

      :::act 3:::

      Tested on the Lemmy web UI

      Your spoiler worked for me. If it’s any consolation, I don’t think the Lemmy formatting is uniform across the various apps. I’ve seen other items that were supposedly spoilered that I could read without tapping.
