These threads used to be really useful back on Reddit.

I'm currently finishing off full app translations for the next release along with lots of the usual bug fixes.

What should I prioritise next?

Cheers, Lj

Change logo to indicate the lemmy connection..This is not at all a serious request, just a personal request fuelled by OCD to get everything as connected as possible.

Just want to make sure you're aware of this: https://discuss.online/post/1294119

I cannot connect to discuss.online as a home site from Sync at the moment, though I can browse it from other home sites. It is not an issue unique to me. The admins of the instance have come to the conclusion it is a lemmy/3p client issue rather than an instance issue, and that clients it breaks now will break more completely with future lemmy rollouts.

Got it thanks

It looks to be an issue with using the backend 0.18.4-beta.8, ever since my instance updated to it I haven't been able to use Sync either

I would like to be able to hide top level comments down to their username line only so that i don't see the comment but can unhide it if i want.

Does the API let you explore an instance?

How about being able to move the up/down vote buttons to the right side for comments. And make them a little bit bigger.

Am I missing a easy one-button to crosspost something from one community to another? If not, then that would be pretty handy.

I know there's share, and I love how much flexibility there is in the share button already, but as a bit of a noob a simple one button crosspost button would be nice. Especially if it has some automated best-practice type settings for the message and media like linking to original post, maybe tagging as a crosspost etc.

Bit of a noob, and even on Reddit was a long time lurker so I always get a bit anxious at how I should be crossposting "correctly".

You could even sneak in some tagging or a formulaic note in the messages to make it easy for Sync to merge duplicate posts found on multiple communities.

I have "hide read posts" enabled on the Lemmy side, through the desktop page.

When I go to my profile on Lemmy's website, I don't see any posts I've made (which makes sense, I've read every post I've ever written), but I do see all my comments in the comment section of a read post.

For some reason, on Sync it doesn't show the posts or the comments. My profile is completely empty unless I go into the settings on my Lemmy instance and toggle the "hide read" setting.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately I can only show what the API returns there.

Collapsing entire comment threads. It can be hard to read the top-level comments in each thread when you have to scroll through. Being able to collapse a top-level comment and all replies to that comment in one button press would help with this.

Thank you for your great work! :)

The one issue I have is that the text is very small while composing comments, and I haven't found a setting to change that.

Here is a screenshot.

Ok this kinda works, ty!

But there still seems to be some issues with the relative font scaling. I have to crank up the base font size quite a bit in order to get a decent size for the editor, but then fonts are huge in all the other places. It can be fixed for posts and comments since they have their own options for it, but not for UI elements like the settings menu.

I think what's missing is a dedicated setting for the editor font scaling, or making it the same as post/comment font size.

Please make Sync compatible with Lemmy v0.19. lemmy.sdf.org updated to v0.19 and Sync no longer works for me. I'm having to use a different app in the meantime.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't find a way to fully collapse a comment, it always collapses only the children, is there a way to change it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd like the ability to open an account in a different window. Like how you can long press on a community and it opens in a new window, but with for accounts. Would make it easier than switching accounts and losing your position

Being able to rotate or mirror an image.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

An option to have separate up/down vote buttons

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Is there a way to create a community? I don't think I've seen a way but I haven't done a thorough deep dive

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Not a terribly important feature, but I'd like to be able to create multiple instances of a view type, each of which has its own configuration, and be able to switch between them with a quick action.

My phone is so wide that it's difficult to hit the thumbnails in the list view when I hold the phone in the opposite hand (right hand with thumbnails on the left vs. left hand with thumbnails on the right). This feature would allow me to quickly switch the view :)

I noticed that saved items are ordered by their post date, not by their saved date like on Reddit Sync. This makes it super hard to find the latest ones you saved.

Could you add this please?

Full immersive mode for non Samsung devices, or transparent navigation bar for those of us who hate gesture navigation.

Hide NSFW doesn't work anymore. Only blurs.
