The trending communities bot started using spoiler tags and it broke connect. I'll try to put an example here:

Test spoilerLink to something don't click random links!

Basically it only shows code not the formatted version when inside a spoiler tag.

I mentioned this a week ago that links/images don't work for spoilers

Another example where the "code" view doesn't display as spoiler either.

No markdown inside spoiler tags will be likely be an issue for other posts too. (EDIT: found one)

As for Trending Communities I was mainly trying to use the tags to create an expandable section, like this:

But what Connect does (blocking all the text) isn't technically wrong, so it's understandable if you don't want to change it. Auto-TLDR bot often uses the tag for the same effect, but maybe we should both wait for a new, more appropriate Markdown feature, rather than (ab)using the one for spoilers.

I can't read spoilers at all. They are white on white when revealed.

Same. I wondered if it was a setting in my preferred colours that was incorrect or conflicting but I can't find any.

I have changed to dark mode, which works as the spoiler stays white, while the background changes to black.
