    @gedaliyah@lemmy.world iOS testing, not sure how you score these so I just listed out the broken stuff.

    Arctic - Link opens in App. Headings fail, images fail, everything else looks fine.

    Avelon - Link opens in browser, not app. Manually went to test post. Bold+Italic fails (Italic works, not Bold). Table fails. Horizontal Rule fails. Spoiler fails. Everything else looks good.

    Bean - Last updated 7 months ago, comments on the app say it’s abandoned. Link opens in browser, not app. Manually went to test post. Text formatting block fails so hard, it’s not even visible(!) Heading fails. Code Block fails, Inline Code fails. Links and Image work, but not inline, only at the bottom of the post. Table fails. Horizontal rule fails.

    CheeseBot - Did not test. $2.99, no free version.

    Lemmios - Link opens in app. Everything looks and works great EXCEPT Spoilers.

    Mlem - Link opens in browser, not app. Manually went to test post. As with Lemmios, everything looks and works great EXCEPT spoilers.

    Remmel - Instant fail. No development in 2 years, unable to even add an instance or an account. Non-starter.

    Thunder - Hard to test. Lots of lag for some reason. Link opens in browser, not app. Manually went to test post. That being said, EVERYTHING worked. The lag may have been because I had just linked my account. Testing everything above, then coming back to Thunder, I found it fast and responsive.

    Voyager - Link opens in app. EVERYTHING worked. No notes.

    So, ranking them:

    Voyager - EVERYTHING worked. No notes.

    Thunder - Everything worked, but laggy to start with when using a year old account with lots of data. Once it caught up, everything was fine. Would probably be great with a new account.

    Lemmios - Link opens in app by default. Spoilers don’t work.

    Mlem - Link opens in browser by default but is user configurable. Spoilers don’t work.

    Arctic - A few minor failures.

    Avelon - A few more failures than Arctic.

    Bean - Hey, it works better than Remmel. Probably abandoned.

    Remmel - Instant fail.

    CheeseBot - Did not test. $2.99, no free version.

    I heard about a horrible river dragon that lurked in the waters under the old London Bridge and destroyed passing boats, eating the crews and passengers.

    It started with a small punt and two people out fishing, pushing the punt through the river by use of a long pole. The pole had tapped the dragon on the nose, waking it from it’s slumber, where it emerged from the river and dragged the helpless fishermen to their doom.

    Following that, it’s hunger was insatiable, it attacked a cattle boat, not only killing and devouring the entire crew, but every last bull, cow, and calf sailing on the river.

    Finally, a group of brave knights lured it up onto the banks and, with great loss of life, managed to slay the horrible beast. While After the conquest, Sir Newt suggested that they grind up the foul beast and use it for food in the local orphanage to cut down on the wasteful cost of gruel. Thus Dicken’s opening line…“It was the beast of Thames, it was the wurst of Thames.”

    A German farmer with relatives in the US sent them a package consisting of some sausages made from the dragon. When they complained that the package had not yet arrived, he wrote: “Cheer up. The wurst is yet to come.”
