Invisible text? Not possible my eyes can’t either 🤣

I am guessing you mean spoiler text like this? If so you just press on it.

or `<text here>` is not visible in when you post

Uhh on my forum u just spam random numbers between 2 symbols like this: \<skskksksksks. Jdjdjdjd\> and it creates invis text. It didn’t create it in the example because I put some other symbols (like the dot). I come from the Hive forums.
