Sync apps have been my go-to for 10 years. Here's to 10 more ๐Ÿป

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.

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! ๐Ÿ™Œ

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 5 months ago

Sync is actually just the best.

In the play store description I noticed you refer to "subs" but they're called "communities" here.

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.

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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

Settings shortcut: Link handling > Expanded selftext links

[โ€“] kamenlady@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

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.

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Great. You've been killing it lately, thank you.

[โ€“] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 5 months ago

Holy shit. This looks like an epic update!

Any chance you could try a different account?

[โ€“] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I tried. My main one cannot access the inbox, others can. Any ideas?

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So just to check if you open say username mentions or direct messages that doesn't work either?

[โ€“] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Those work. I only get an error for All and All unread. The others, when empty, respond properly with "No messages returned".

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ok well that's something lol.

Am I able to register an account on that instance? It wasn't lowering for me.

[โ€“] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 5 months ago

I think so, it should be open for everyone.
