Sync for Lemmy

This isn't really a feature suggestion, but rather a quality of life improvement.

Lately I've been getting a lot of messages saying "All posts hidden on page ### - RETRY" due to having to have so many filters on Lemmy to hide whole communities.

Just this morning I had to hit retry about 6-7 times in a row because there were 6-7 pages on posts completely filtered out..

Had the same issue on sync for reddit but it wasn't as noticeable since filters weren't required as much. On Lemmy it's a staple and kind of annoying once you have a fair bit of communities filtered out.

I would like it if a community would remember the sorting I selected. Some communities I prefer to read sorted by newest. Others I like to read top last 12 hours.

Not sure where to submit bug reports:

This comment contaisn a link that contains two @ symbols. Sync inserts a link with the assumption that the two @ signify a Lemmy username.

I'd love these things:

1. Be able to mark text and wrap with `...`, back ticks, for code formatting.
2. Mark comment replies as unread.

I'd like a way to block " X " posts. The filters seem to strip leading and trailing spaces from the keywords.

Some pages don't have overscroll rubberbanding.

**Feature request: **

View upvote and downvote count in addition to or instead of score

I love long pressing an image to view and sliding my finger down to the options at the bottom to copy, view in browser, etc. Would be nice if download was one of those quick actions.

You do great work!! Sync has been my most used app for longer than I remember.

Any chance for some tweaks for tablets and foldables?

• I think it would be nice to be able to hide the navigation rail. It feels like a lot of wasted space. The FAB can do everything the rail can while being better looking and easier to reach.

• Maybe more column settings for view types (for folded/unfolded)? I like a single column on the outside screen, 2 columns on the inner screen in portrait, and 3 columns on the inner screen in landscape. This is possible in Infinity for Lemmy. But Infinity, as a whole, is not nearly as polished as your app.

I currently use Infinity on my Fold's outer display for single column viewing and Sync on the inner display with tablet mode disabled to avoid the navigation rail. These tweaks would be awesome for foldable users (all 10 of us) so we could get a better use of space while also enjoying the tablet mode features.

My lemmy instance doesn't allow uploading of images at all. It would be awesome to have a setting that would change the add image function from uploading and image, to providing text boxes for alt text and link instead and have it automatically add the syntax to embed the image in the comment:

![alt text](image url)

I know it's a little one but please fix the spacing of the notification when hiding posts:

Device information

Sync version: v23.09.13-18:19    
Sync flavor: googlePlay    

Ultra user: true    
View type: Slides    
Push enabled: false

A feature I would love to have is Auto load next page if a full page of results is filtered. With some communities getting fed content by posting bots that load a chunk of posts all at once, I often hit instances while browsing /all where multiple pages will be empty due to filters. It would be great if the app just loaded the next page automatically in these instances instead of having to manually load the next page.

Option to disable long-press to hide comment.

I have never had a desire to hide a comment and I do it constantly unintentionally.

I have an issue and not sure where to send it. I think "some" post makes Sync crash.

I hid about 5 posts and now there are no posts and the app doesn't crash and doesn't load new posts.

Maybe I need to relogin...

I'd like to not have the title of an image post not be carried over when trying to share externally.

I'd like to see the "read text aloud" feature extended to the body of posts.

This bug

I know that before, when I shared a picture via text say, there was an option to not have the post title accompany said picture. I'd like to have that again.

Oh, and maybe the ability to view media @ catbox ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Cheers

I can only find an option to block the community, not the instance. Blocking|hiding communities individually is tedious when you're trying to personalize your feed

comment custom indentation and padding

I love the post preview feature when sharing posts online or with friends.

I think something that would be beneficial to Lemmy (and hence Sync) would be if the entire community name (such as [email protected]) be displayed in the preview.

A rough MS Paint example:

Fix the "Todo" on the post action bar

I would really love to see a "Comment Score" and/or a "Post Score" (or even an "Total Score") like other Lemmy apps do (Like Voyager). Like how Reddit does karma where you can see total upvotes on all a user's content.

Not necessary but my monkey brain firmly believes that bigger number = better person.

Otherwise app is perfect <3 thx

I just need the version without ads.
