v122 adds support for a super secret upcoming new feature…
This is exactly the reason, after using Sync for YEARS on reddit, I paid for Sync on Lemmy the minute it was available.
This is absolutely the best application for browsing this type of forum. I get why some other folks prefer FOSS/Free/Non-ad based apps, but I have no qualms about shelling out the cash for a really well designed app that I use just about daily.
(シ_ _)シ
Yeah its not even close. Lj, you are an extremely skilled developer. Thanks for making such a good app
When are we getting another update?
Sync apps have been my go-to for 10 years. Here’s to 10 more 🍻
🍻
Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek
This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! 🙌
You’re the best LD!
♥️
In the play store description I noticed you refer to “subs” but they’re called “communities” here.
Cheers I’ll change that.
Great. You’ve been killing it lately, thank you.
While you’re at it this setting should probably say “Body” or maybe “post body” instead of “selftext”.
Settings shortcut: View type > Show selftext previews
Edit: oh, found it in a couple other spots
Settings shortcut: Post options > Long press selftext to select text
It’s been “selftext” since day 1 on reddit iirc. This should stay the way it is. It’s part of Sync’s identity imo.
When i noticed, back then, i found it funny. Idk if it’s intentional or a forgotten placeholder that survived.
At a certain point Lemmy and Sync are going to find users that weren’t redditors and I could see it causing some confusion. It’s minor though. Bothers me less than “subs” for sure.
Hey, think you could tinker with the “Glide Failed to Grab This Image” bug? It’s happening more and more now, and it even happens to images I post.
Excellent work boss, as always 👍🏻
Edit: Wow the messaging section is looking good, Sync for Reddit never looked that nice!
Thank you so much for the continued updates!
Something about the fixes for usernames not showing up appears to have undone the fix for #122. I can see my username in plaintext for the current account even though I have hidden the display names.
Notifications! Yes! Thank you.
(Can someone please reply to this, so that I can test if they work for me? Thanks. 🙂)
Much preferred the old inbox. If I get 5 replies to a comment I dont need to see the post title above all of them (I dont really want to see it above any of them.) I clicked the “show post titles in replies” option in the messaging options section to off but it made no difference.
I’m wondering that also. The extra functionality is nice but it’s going to take some getting used to. I’ll adjust though
Great work, thank you. I’m wondering if you’ve put any more thought into displaying downvotes on comments? Now that post editing is fixed that’s basically the only thing I keep going back to the PWA for.
Not sure if you know this already, but spoilers made by people using the website version don’t load properly.

Hmm that’s weird, that one worked. But if I try viewing this post https://sopuli.xyz/post/10635149, the spoilers are a mess.
Any plans on emoji pickers for instances with custom emojis?
Custom emojis also currently render much larger than they should.
Excellent!
New messaging looks awesome!
Is there a way I can bind sync to be my default app for links to my instance? Annoying that someone sends me a lemmy.ca link and I have to go find it manually in sync, or just view it in my browser.
Android Settings -> Apps -> Sync -> Open by default
Ah that makes sense, thanks! I was looking in the sync options.
Edit: odd it doesn’t work. I added every domain, then click a lemmy.world link in discord and it still opens chrome
hmmm, not sure if chrome has this, but for Firefox I use the “Open in App” button, since I have “Open links in apps” set to Never.
Though I can replicate your issue, clicking a lemmy link in Discord brings me to Firefox, whereas clicking a YouTube link in Discord takes me directly to the YouTube app (technically the ReX app)
Question - I notice that the little nav bar dot with a number to indicate new replies or messages is now showing in dark grey rather than orange. I had a look in settings, but I can’t see a way to choose the colour for that. Anyone know of a way?
Normally appears here when there’s a new reply:
In case it’s useful…
Device information
Sync version: v24.03.19-19:12 Sync flavor: googlePlay View type: Smaller cards Push enabled: false Device: raven Model: Google Pixel 6 Pro Android: 14Is your theme base colour grey?
It is, yeah - I guess that’s the setting for the notification. Thanks very much :-)
