New

  • Support for Lemmy 0.19
  • Lots and lots of refactoring cleaning up technical debt

Changes

Modlog and reports are top of my list.

These threads used to be really useful back on Reddit.

I'm currently finishing off full app translations for the next release along with lots of the usual bug fixes.

What should I prioritise next?

Cheers, Lj

Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

I'm glad the people from Danelund and Germandy are doing their thing on Lemmy but I don't know what the fuck any of it means and it makes for a lot of block button tapping. A toggle would be very nice.

I know I can view subscribed and there's ways around this but I want an "all" feed I can read all of, with fewer taps.

Sync is great, thanks for everything!

I am axtive in communities that requite uploading images, but i haven't been able to properly upload any images using Sync in months. The communities are across multiple instances, so I believe it is a Sync issue.

Pretty much the title. There's plenty of things that need to be addressed and as a sync ultra paying customer I feel that the Dev should at least try to maintain their software. Curious if anyone else has tried emailing him?

Am I missing something? Yesterday there was a visible vote count next to each comments username. Today there is nothing. Maybe a setting I accidentally changed? I can't for the life of me figure it out.

Sometimes I want to find a post I viewed a while ago. I can hide read posts, but is there any way to view read posts?

I can't find anything in any menus.

Is there a setting that might resolve the issue attached, where really long comment threads get squished into illegibility?

The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.

In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).

Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. I figured there would probably be an easy way to do this but I haven't been able to figure it out. Suppose I have a bang-syntax community such as "[email protected]" copied to my clipboard. How do I open this community within Sync? Everything I've found so far just searches for this as text.

Idk why it stopped working but it did. I tried clearing the cache and turning the setting off and on again. It still doesn't work.

Since yesterday, posts and comments have stopped showing vote counts. Is this a bug with Sync or did I press something I didn't mean to?

I was looking through my Pi-hole logs and a strange URL is regularly coming up that I can't figure out what it is used for.

ap.syncforreddit.com

Does anyone have any insight?

17
 
 

Maybe I just can't see it, but I was looking for a way to reply to posts via a swipe, like I can with comments

18
 
 

Is it possible to see up and down vote counts instead of the sum?

I added a second lemmy account to Sync and on that second account posts aren't marked as read after I opened them. Sometimes they get marked as read after a reload, but only sometimes.

Is that a bug? Is there a solution?

Hey all, just ran into this this morning, I was replying to a comment and it showed up at the same level as the comment I was replying to until a refresh. I'll see if I can reproduce it for screenshots in a bit. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me so far?

I noticed with QPR3, the back gesture in Sync now shows a black screen during the animation.

Could this be fixed? I read it'll become default in Android 15.

On posts that I access through my home instance, i.e. any post present in the "Your local instance" feed, nothing appears in the comments section apart from the message "There are no comments", despite the UI suggesting that there are several.

When accessing the post's permalink in the web UI of the instance, the comments show up without issue, even when logged in.

To reproduce, log in to sync with a lemm.ee account, switch to local feed and click on any post that appears to have comments. For example: https://lemm.ee/post/35476369

For some reason I haven't been able to replicate this on any other instance (tried with .world and .ml, both of which don't seem to have this issue)

What features would you most like to see implemented/updated?

Hi there,

It seems that my midwest.social account has stopped showing the upvote count on posts and comments sometime over the last few days. My Lemmy.world and lemm.ee accounts show them fine still.

Ive tried logging out and back in and still no dice.

Anyone else having this bug?
