Sync for Lemmy

Thank you for working so hard and fast! I know there's a lot of people talking down about it being closed source and optionally costing money, but as a long-time user and patron it's completely worth it for the quality of experience you're able to deliver!

I never used sync for Reddit, I was (and remain in my heart) a die hard RIF user. I appreciate the work you've done so much and more than ANYTHING the ability to have multiple columns again. It's sync for me now.

$20 is to much imo. I would gladly pay 10, but for 10 more might as well stick with my DNS block.

A few things I've encountered so far:

• I can't submit/post anything. Is this normal? https://imgur.com/pHeOIm5

• It would be nice to be able to have settings apply app-wide and not be user-specific. It's workaroundable with backing up settings through one account and restoring from the second one but a native solution would be nice to have.

• Hidden posts only seem to apply to the feed and not carry over when viewing specific communities.

• Didn't find any way to search comments.

• Not receiving any notifications.

It's such a pleasure to be back, it's a wonderful app.

Can't thank you enough.

Pricing: I'll be happy to contribute (hell, I even have some Google survey credit rotting there), but honestly the current price is too high, and I don't mind a few ads. My opinion is that with a price point around 5 € / year you could have a lot more people jumping in to remove ads, or at least it would be fine for me.

Are there any plans to re-implenent the "Sync" feature that the Reddit app had?

Just curious because I need my offline reading!

Incredible work. It's amazing having this app come with us.

Thank you for this 🙏🙏

I hope the negative posts aren't too discouraging; some of the foss community here seems to be oddly toxic. If you don't like it, don't pay for it.

Splurging $20 on a Lemmy app with my country's currency devaluation is not going to work for me. Nothing against you or the app, the app is amazing and leagues ahead of the competition. But I'm not even sure if Lemmy will be the replacement for Reddit and how it'll all pan out after the hype wears off, so I'm going to wait for regional pricing for this one.

4. I'll be working on regional prices over the coming weeks

Glad to hear that, until then I don't mind the ads. They don't make me wait to see a post or hindering anything.

Any chance there will be a separate Sync for Lemmy Pro app available? I'd prefer this method as I had with Sync for Reddit Pro instead of the in-app purchase.

It's so nice to have this app back!

One quick thing, comment threads can appear out of order when using "top" as the sorting mechanism instead of "hot"

You tend to see child comment chains detached from their parents.

When will we be able to submit posts with the app?

Your app is amazing. Take all of my money, please

Nice. I just hope lemmy continues to grow.

Installed and could immediately tell it was a great app. I just bought Ultra Lifetime.

My request would be the ability to collapse comments and to be able to promote certain post options buried in the menu to a button (like bookmark), namely, I use "hide post" a lot, and would like to choose to access it without having to drill into the menu. I recognize others might use other post options more frequently (like share or something), so it would be nice to make that configurable.

Thanks for a great app!! 👍

Edit: thanks to some helpful replies, I now know that I can collapse comments by long pressing on them, and I can hide posts quickly by swiping them to the left!

LJ! So happy to have Sync back. I'll happily pay for ad-free. It feels silky smooth so far. I don't see any bug reporting available in the app; should we just do it here? If so, I've noticed that "sort by top" in the comments sometimes will chop off the first comment.

Thank you for Sync! I'm very happy with the experience so far!

One of the best polished apps for Android ever, and certainly the best for Lemmy.

Happily paying for Ultra :-).

If I may give a tiny bit of criticism: I can't find a way view or set comment language. Is that expected?
