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
In Sync for Reddit we had the ability to view previously upvoted posts. I don’t know if Lemmy supports that, but that was a feature I used often to go back to something. Thanks
I have a feature request. Harmonic for hackernews has the option to open a url directly on archive.org, which I think is a pretty neat feature. Would it be possible to add this?
How would that work exactly?
Like this link https://google.com would open https://archive.org/details/google.com ?
You can use the wayback machine api to retrieve the latest snapshot of a particular url, which is useful to evade paywalls.
I just tested with a random link and it’s exactly that.
Perfect. I’ll add support.
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.
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.
I hear you and I’ve been tempted to go that route myself too. Not sure how to go about this though…
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
Thanks for making a great app! I have been satisfied with it and don’t mind slow releases. :)
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?
Looks like it moved:
Settings shortcut: Account settings > Show NSFW contentWhoa didn’t know you could link like that. Thank you!
Yeah, it’s great! Just long-press any setting and it gets copied - I love this feature! (งツ)ว You are welcome!
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!
I’ll add another feature request that I forgot: instance browsing. Being able to see a list of communities within a remote instance would be nice (preferably sorted by subscribers like in the web UI). Being able to see the Local feed from a selected remote instance would also be useful. I think both those features could help with community discovery.
EDIT: disregard most of this, I was blind to the instances button. It would still be nice to see the communities-list on an instance sorted by size.
Is that different than using the “instance” button to go to (for example) lemmy.world and then the “communities” button to bring up this list:
(Edit: I see that my pic isn’t all sorted by size, and that’s a difference, but I’m genuinely curious about other ways to browse other instances since I’m basically alone on mine)
EDIT: I was apparently blind to the instances button dear lord.
Being able to see communities on an instance sorted by size like the web UI would be nice, though, still.
That’s fair 😁
So where is this instances button?!
Right on top of your feed.
Thx
Find it? (New comments aren’t highlited yet, so I didn’t notice this)
There’s also one in my More Actions menu (the 3 dots in the upper right)
Thx
Can we have the swipe mode for pictures that we used to have in Sync for Reddit?
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”.
I’d love it if clicking on the thumbnail of an image opened the raw image, instead of the compressed view, so instead I have to go into the post and click the image there for full resolution. It’s especially noticeable for larger images with small text.
I want to filter out image posts. Lots of communities have good content but are plagued with useless unfunny reddit-tier memes.
Multiple images in comments have been pretty buggy, I’ll tap one and it goes to the other image
Do you have an example?
It mostly seems to have issues on the side of images, but some just can’t be tapped on.
Edit: from here though it happens most times there are multiple images displayed together.
edit 2: on s22 ultra if that helps!
I’d love the ability to view and manage reports, and ban users.
Alao viewing upvotes / downvotes. All the admin features basically.
Any chance of an option to flip the upvote/downvote colors to the Lemmy ordering (blue up/red down)? It’s always a little jarring going between the app and website and seeing all my votes are backwards
