New
- Support for Lemmy 0.19

Changes
- Any action that fail now alerts the user via notification
- Show / hide NSFW has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this now respects your account choice)

Well that came out of left field
I had been expecting this.
Lemmy itself is still a work in progress and the new version apparently makes some major changes from the current version.
Sync is currently in a usable stable state so instead of squashing bugs in the current Sync version it was a better use of their dev time to work on a build for 0.19.
Since the update the app crash at startup. I’ve tried to delete the cache but it still doesn’t start.

App crashes on launch after update for me repeatedly after it scanned my fingerprint. After a successful scan it sat on the main page with no content loading, and no buttons working for a half second or so before the crash.
Couldn’t get past it with a force close or a clear cache. I had to wipe the apps data which logged me out and reset my settings, and then I was able to log in again.

Did you have obscure usernames is account picker enabled?
My name was starred out in the left pull out menu so I believe so yes.
I think that’s what’s causing the crash. I made a bug report.
Edit: after some testing I’ve confirmed this
Interesting, i am not having issues.

Welcome back! Thank you for the update.
Thank you for this <3
Thanks for the update!
Is he still supporting sync, development hasn’t been updated for awhile
Yes. Sorry for the crap comms.
Hotfix pushed today to fix the crashes and I’ll be pushing a large update soon after.
Thanks for the update!
The app was crashing for me on startup like other people have described. I reset the data and as soon as I enabled “Hide username in account picker”, it started crashing on startup again.
So that’s the issue then? Has anyone reported this on the github issue tracker?
Based
Thank you! I love this app!
Thanks so much for all these important updates!
Basically the only feature I need now is the ability to upload images (but it also doesn’t seem to work in Voyager or Boost, so not sure if that’s something the Sync developer needs to fix or not)
My subscribed feed on discuss.tchncs.de crashes the app. Except making this comment fixed the issue?
Device information
Sync version: v23.11.29-22:27 Sync flavor: googlePlay Ultra user: true View type: Slides Push enabled: false Device: d2q Model: samsung SM-N975U Android: 12When it happens, I use my browser and the link handler to fix the issue. (It happened again)
Upon futher testing disabling Hide username in account shortcut fixes the issue without having to recreate my profile.
Settings shortcut: Security > Hide username in account picker
Weird thing is that although the app no longer crashes, the usernames don’t appear.
I have the version 23-11-29 22:27 and since it came there are NSFW posts in Everything. All the NSFW filters are on but the odd one appears as I scroll down, but blurred out thank goodness.
Do you have NSFW disabled in your lemmy account settings?
Yes. I expect a filter to work in the app. The post is marked NSFW but has appeared. To me this means this filter has not worked. But the preview is blurred. So that filter has worked. I would therefore conclude that a filter is not working since the last update. Before the update there were the occasional NSFW posts, but they were not marked NSFW.
Have you made a bug report?
Yes.
Settings shortcut: Account settings > Show read posts
This option doesn’t work. How can I show read posts?
I had this problem, I also couldn’t upvote after my instance upgraded to lemmy 0.19. Logging out and logging back in fixed all my issues.
For some reason I was logged out, but now after hiding read posts I still can’t display then back.
Much appreciated :)
