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

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.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Got it thanks

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

I'd like the option to exclude a community from an instance filter. There's a community I'm interested in in an instance that is 90% garbage.

If a subscribed community could bypass the filters, that'd be fantastic

On behalf of all the perverts out there, how about a toggle filter for only showing NSFW posts. Would be nice for...ahem... "discovery" on the everything feed.

Assuming it's not already possible that is.

For us perverts it would be great if the Redgifs audio issue was fixed.

It also prevents sharing the actual redgifs link easily cause you need to open it in the browser and then share the link. Otherwise it shares the API link.

It did work as intended on Sync for Reddit.

Fixing the bug where instances can't be loaded please!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Shouldn't this combination of settings result in a red preview? Or no preview? Currently it still shows a blurred preview.

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

An option to have separate up/down vote buttons

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years 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 :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago

Unfortunately I can only show what the API returns there.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Being able to rotate or mirror an image.

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

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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (5 children)

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.

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?

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years 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

2 old features I liked from the reddit version. Probably going to be quite low priority versus some other things, but they're the missing things I'm noticing most.

  1. The little "next / previous comment" arrows. Worked very well for skipping comment chains when you're already a bit into them.

  2. The little "+#" count next to the total comments to show how many new comments have popped up in a post. Combined with the unread comment dot it made keeping track of new comments on a thread I liked nice.

Small thing but I'd love some metadata about the comment or post when I'm replying. Things like the time it was posted, username and maybe even subreddit with the instance. The full thread for nested comments would maybe be nice but maybe the ui for scrolling through that would be messy.
