Hey everyone.]

So update 98/99 has gone live which fixes the crashes (thanks for the reports).

I'm gearing up for a pretty sizable release but just wanted to check in and ask if there was any issues you're having that I should know about or any new feature requests.

Sorry for the bad comms but I'm making my way through lots of messages and posts on here. Thanks for the patience as I get through these all.

Cheers, Lj

Is there a way to configure the hide/show read posts more granularly? I'd like to have it off when viewing a specific community and on for the broader feeds

Hello from a long time Sync Pro user. Love your app and how much support and time you put into it.

I don't have any issues with Sync for Lemmy specifically.

Although, I'd love to see sync pro available outside of the Play Store, even if directly from your website.

I'd really like to completely decouple my phone from Google and there is a very small handful of apps that I still have to get from Google Play.

However for the paid apps, I can't reasonably use Aurora Store because I'd need to link my Google Account for a license.

I know those would be extra work for you, so if you do decide to work on it l, know that I totally wouldn't mind buying another lifetime license for a de-googled purchase validation.

Feature request: Saved post/comment categories similar to Reddit Gold. I'd love to long press the saved icon to supply a category. Then list all of the items of that category on the saved items page.

I understand that Lemmy currently does not support this.

I recently started using a VPN and have found that I can't post comments while my connection is secured. Don't know if that's a Sync issue or what.

I'm having an issue where the toggle for post-title -with-share when sharing an image does nothing - but I don't see anyone else with the issue, so maybe it's just me?

It's great! The only things I've noticed is that I don't think the spoiler tags work correctly, and I can't post gifs from the built in gif search (I get errors saying "could not upload image".

I'm missing comment navigation like Sync for reddit used to have, with buttons to go between the root level comments.

It would be nice to have a quick action to change thumbnails to the opposite side.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just opposite of the current position. Would only apply to views where thumbnails can be on one side of course (small, smaller, compact)

Features wise, full mod tools would be awesome, but I figure you've got that on the list already. Same with the latest lemmy stuff like instance blocking at the account level.

Beyond that, the only thing I can think of is more granular control over theming. I finally found a set-up that's working for me, but I know it took some fiddling that could have taken less time if I had been able to tweak background colors, or whatever. I've seen other people talk about that for sync, as well as other apps that a don't even have the options sync does. From a usability perspective, contrast between sections of the ui can be the difference between literal headaches and a relaxing scroll.

But, again, that's pretty low priority imo.

The only problem as an overall happy Ultra user is when I try to go back from any other sub-page, the previous page sometimes starts from the very beginning as if it refreshed.

For example, when I just browse the feed, then find an interesting community, visit it, come back and I have to scroll the feed all over again. This doesn't happen every time but only sometimes. Doesn't feel like ram issue as I'm running S24U, should be capable for that.

Also, automatic skip of "Load next page" would be awesome as I've filtered quite a lot of stuff.

Otherwise Sync is amazing, keep it up!

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hmm that shouldn't be happening. How many "level" down are you going?

[โ€“] jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Just wanted to say thanks for the post, even if it was a quick one to say releases are coming. I had been considering signing up for your paid version but was hesitant to pull the trigger because I feared the project had been abandoned. Since it's not, I'm signing up now. Appreciate all the work you put into the app!

Did removing NSFW posts go away? When I look at my filter options I see that I can blur previews and such, but the option to have them completely blocked went away. Or maybe it moved?

Whoa didn't know you could link like that. Thank you!

[โ€“] mom@nom.mom 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's great! Just long-press any setting and it gets copied - I love this feature! (เธ‡ใƒ„)เธง You are welcome!

Can we have the swipe mode for pictures that we used to have in Sync for Reddit?

[โ€“] petersr@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I second this. It is the option in the three dots when viewing a stream of posts, right? I recall it had the icon of a finger and and arrow and was called "Swipe mode".
