Love it! If only there was enough lemmy content so I could leave Reddit.
Eh, there's more than enough content for mindless scrolling. Good enough for me
Now that Sync users can post we will get more content.
It was kind of a pain having to switch out to post so it's definitely nice to see this coming along.
That'll only get better with time, unfortunately.
Aaaaand now I can delete all of the other Lemmy apps. Thanks!
You shouldn't have post this, all the FOSS folks are gonna be mad.
No. They'll be righteously smug as they try to keep up.
Didn't you know, LJ shouldn't get paid for his work. FOSS is better in every way./s
Foss advocates aren't saying he shouldn't be paid, just that they would like the app to be open source.

The day when Lemmy Exploded !!!
Broken comment hierarchy in comments under View more #93
Yesssss! I didn't find this one the first time I read about the update and was kinda worried it was something wrong on my end.
I'm still having this issue when sorting comments by Top :(
The image picker now uses the fancy new Photo Picker
The fancy new photo picker is a significant downgrade. It can't search file names, it doesn't work with microSD cards, and it's painfully slow. Can we get an option to select images with an external gallery app?
I don't know how it looked pre-update but the image picker from Sync for Reddit was absolutely more functional and still not ugly

Very nice update. Now if hidden posts would stay hidden I could actually use it as my main app!

How do I get access to the beta? I feel like I should know but I don't and can't figure it out.
The main version on the app store is the beta right now but with submitting finally in I guess it might be time to graduate out of beta.
The version on the play store is from 8-3. πͺ
Give it a few hours to clear review
Thank you so much! Will be eagerly checking the Play store for the update.

Oh this is very nice. Thank you for your continued hard work!
Can you make default view to be comments+posts instead post-only in the profile page please?

Very good! Nice to see the /c/ link issue fixed too.
Awesome. Love your app, LJ. Use it every day. And great to have posting back.
I'd love to see an option to exclude responses to a post from going to the inbox like in the reddit app. If a post gets popular, the inbox fills up real quick.
Thanks again.
I can't seem to find a way to even do that on the desktop site
Sounds great, sync is really boosted my overall experience in Lemmy, it's really fun to use. Great work.
Viewed posts still don't hide when you refresh :(
Fixed for the next beta
Sweet. Thank you!.
Are there plans to give the "comment reply" window a similar visual overhaul to the "create post" window?
I was thinking about that. Do you prefer the new one?
Yes, the new one looks nice and clean. I think a bit of padding really helps to make it look modern. (yeah, I know this will ruffle some feathers because some people apparently prefer 0px padding on everything)
One thing that always irked me a bit about the old "comment reply" window is that it has a fixed division of the comment you're replying to, and your own reply. Maybe a toggle would be nice? (and it would also be nice if that top window would also show the text from self-posts when I'm writing a top-level comment; that way we would be able to copy/quote from the selftext. IIRC on reddit it only worked when I was replying to a comment)
Thanks for your work! Using Sync here feels like coming home.
Sync for Lemmy and Voyager are my main Lemmy clients now, I'm glad Sync is getting better.
Awesome work as always!
First, thank you so much for this app. I've tried so many and this one was a no brainier, especially since it is so incredibly customizable. The major feature I've been waiting for is multi column views (I can never go back lol)
I have a couple requests:
Is it possible to add voting without opening the post? 
This is the only RIF screenshot I have lol but you can see what I mean in the bottom right.
Second, some posts get kind of wonky when there's a title and image so it gets very long: 
Any way to make the post on the right look like the one on the left? I think it's specifically when the image is a link preview.
Again thank you so much and either way this app is amazing. I so appreciate the work you've done to make this happen β€οΈ
Not sure about the layout you're using, but with cards layout there are swipe gestures to up vote/down vote without opening the posts.

Awesome work! Anyway to include release notes with the update on the play store? I'm a sucker for those!
I should add that back actually
New
- You can now post!
- The upload image dialog has been replaced with a bottom sheet
- The image picker now uses the fancy new Photo Picker
Too much amazing!
Is there a way to give the new photopicker access to more folders? I can only see three (Camera, Screenshots and Downloads) but I have multiple other folders (from editing apps, screenshots, downloads from Twitter etc), that I now can't access from Sync.
